Good design tells a story—your story. Our process is a closely collaborative one. You talk, we listen, and vice-versa.
OUR POWER IS IN THE PROCESS
Strong, successful design solutions are rooted in solid communication between designer and client. Through conversation, your job is to let us know the goals, vision and personality of your project. Our job is to listen closely, clarify, and put our creative skills to work, pushing the creative beyond simply pretty.
OUR POTENCY IS IN OUR SIZE
Jade is an award-winning Art Director and Designer with over fifteen years of experience with clients big and small. Our team starts small and lean, building only as a project requires. We can scale with your team or build our own to resemble an agency when needed, assembling a team of experts to integrate with your core project team.
BUILD ON YOUR TEAM’S STRENGTHS
I work independently, as a part of an agency team, and as an extension of an in-house cohort. When the project requires, JG&Co scales, building a cohort of skilled experts, expanding capabilities and bandwidth to resemble an agency when needed.
