Jolby


At Jolby, I co-founded a ten person design and illustration studio, creatively leading and directing projects for global brands with a focus on storytelling. During my time there, I co-built the Jolby team, concepted and pitched hundreds of projects, and collaborated with others to lose my ego and make things that none of us could achieve on our own.

Riding the Weird


Jolby’s approach to work is with wide eyes—focusing on solutions over roadblocks. As a close-nit group, we taught each other something new every day and worked to create a creative sanctuary for us in the Pacific Northwest.








Studio Branding


As the studio grew, so did the brand. Expanding into brand shapes, patterns, and voice—all uniqely Jolby.












Jolby Projects: Collaborate for the Better


Jolby was built on collaboration. Not just adding something to a file and saving it, but working together to abandon your ego and create something that you couldn’t make alone. Here are some of my favorite projects that I led at Jolby.
