Welcome to DJB Design.

I’m Jack. I’ve been designing and writing professionally for more than 20 years. Finding stories and expressing unique ideas visually has been my M.O. for as long as I can remember.

My career is steeped in connecting users and audiences. In some of the country’s largest newsrooms, my designs helped tell complex stories and ideas in digestible ways. I directed a 45-person studio of visual designers and content designers for audiences of more than 500,000. As owner and creative director of DJB Design, I execute projects ranging from book design, data visualization to daily digital editorial products to digital marketing creative.

I launched DJB Design LLC as a way to utilize my skills as a graphic designer, a production and systems consultant, and a visual guru. I created social media posts and blogs for electric truck manufacturer Rivian; I designed books and exhibition spaces graphics for The Historic New Orleans Collection; designed internal and external presentation material, large-format display graphics as well as retouched photography for major companies in the energy sector; led the visual creative for a successful political campaign for a city council candidate in a major U.S. city; and consulted with publishers big and small to create new workflows and streamline production, implement content management systems, and train super and end users.

In May 2022, I received my certification from UC Berkeley’s UX/UI Bootcamp. This grueling, 24-week, intensive class sharpened my skills a user-centered designer. In more than 900 hours of work, I refined my abilities in user research, user tests, wireframing, prototyping, and working coding knowledge.
