Bio

As a design veteran with a deep knowledge of design, I have spent the last 20+ years focused on elevating and launching intuitive digital products,  eye-catching graphics, and iconic branding, while applying impactful solutions for Emerging Technology, Mobile Apps, SaaS, Branding, Marketing, Video, Events,  Packaging, Print, and Installations. I have extensive experience working closely with stakeholders, mentoring design teams, and fostering a design approach that is human-centered, iterative, authentic, empathetic, and accessible. My design work has received recognition from Apple, Facebook, Netty Awards, AIGA, Graphic Design USA, and Awwwards.

Additionally, I love the Arts, and lead a double life as a fine artist. You can view my surreal and introspective work here: jawshsmyth.art
