“We design for the future, using the past which in time will archive our present”

Hi! I'm Jacob, a Junior Graphic Designer based in Toronto, Ontario. I am passionate about all things communication design and am always on the look for what I can observe in the designed world around me. Majority of my work is inspired by my background being both Irish/Scottish and Japanese. Both of these cultural identities motivate me greatly, seemingly being an endless supply of inspiration. My practice seeks to blend the two into a new form, not picking one or the other but being a unique combination of both.I am always eagerly looking at the graphic world around me to push myself to create the next best thing and become a more dynamic and efficient designer.
