Hello!
I was born in Germany – Raised all over the US – Trained in San Francisco – Lived on a 47’ sailboat – Working In Orange County California – Designing branded experiences for businesses – Previously at VANS, Urban Decay Cosmetics and Fox Racing.
I’m currently working towards a certificate in UX Design from Google, but I first started thinking like a UX designer while working at a small sign shop. When designing and installing signs I noticed how the space and signage could be organized better to give users a better experience. I made suggestions as to how a sign could be designed and positioned so as to make better sense to the visitors. My job made me think about how people navigate physical and virtual environments. I enjoyed this so much that it inspired me to get a certificate in UX Design.
You will find that I am enthusiastic designer with the ability to unify, direct and mentor a team. I leverage a more holistic approach to create content-rich, emotionally compelling graphics and experiential spaces for a wide range of clients.
My work creates a sense of community and place, helps people find their way, communicates important information and fuels a dialogue between users, brands and the spaces they inhabit.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
“I had the opportunity to expand my service offering by creating custom showroom displays for Dynacraft, a licensed product manufacturer. I immediately turned to Jeremy to partner with me on the design strategy, creative and 3D modeling. Jeremy was easy to work with and intuitively understood what the client was looking for. He was professional and organized in the initial client meeting. We came away with a clear understanding of what they needed and a detailed budget and timeline for completion. The client was ecstatic about their initial design proposal and renderings. Jeremy was resourceful in creating an impactful display within the space and budget that the client set forth. He was also very flexible and responsive with last minute changes that needing to be implemented within the original timeline. The project was completed on-time and within budget. Dynacraft was extremely happy with the end result. I would recommend Jeremy without hesitation. He helped educate me on selling this product and in turn I have created a new revenue stream for my company.
I highly recommend Jeremy for his creativity not only in design but for his ability to think in original and strategic ways.”
“As the Creative Director at Skyline Orange County it was my pleasure not only to go out and hire Jeremy to add to a strong team as a designer but it was a pleasure to hand over the reigns of the design group when I migrated to our corporate design group. Jeremy is a strong designer that understands his customers and delivers what they need. His work ethic is far and away one of his strong suits as he will do what it takes to get the job done and get it done right. In my estimation Jeremy is a real rock star and a pleasure to work with. ”
“As Director of Creative Services at Skyline, Jeremy’s ability to translate a client’s objectives into a design that not only showcased their brand but was also highly functional and flexible was exceptional. His structural and technical knowledge was really at an expert level. And Jeremy’s communication skills helped guide clients into a solution that was the right fit for their needs. Jeremy’s creative designs closed sales, won awards and were a key component to the success of the company!”
“I had had the pleasure of working with Jeremy on several exhibit design projects. His work shows his creativity not only with the aesthetics of the design but also how best to use the space. His knowledge about trade shows and exhibit design is invaluable!”
“Jeremy was an amazing coworker and partner while working at Fox Racing. He was able to translate my scribbles/diagrams and create what was on my mind to translate in to the market. We were often challenged for rush projects and Jeremy was always quick on his feet and computer to develop environments or graphics in such a short time frame! His collaboration in not only our team but other teams within the workplace was exceptional and will deeply miss working side by side.”
“Jeremy proved to be a great team player and was able to keep the best interest of our company and the client within every project. He is committed to his work and would deliver above expectations; winning design awards multiple times.. Working under pressure is an attribute most common with Jeremy, he is a professional at what he does, with the absolute objective of success. I have no reservations in recommending him, as Jeremy would be a valued asset for any organization. ”
“Jeremy was a pleasure to work with. Be in designing graphics or exhibits, he displayed great creativity and his work was consistently appealing to our mutual clients. I was sad when he relocated.”
