My kids, my home, and me.

Hi! I'm so glad you're here.

I'm Jordan – designer, artist, recovering perfectionist

After a decade self-employed, I'm looking for a “real” job! I can't wait to find the right creative team to join 👏🏼

2023 - Present

Freelance Designer

I’m currently filling my kid-free hours helping start-ups and small businesses with all of their design needs (from mobile app prototypes to logos and slide decks), my own side-projects, and experimenting with ever-evolving design and AI tools.

Career Break

In 2020, I sold my design studio so I could focus on my growing family. (And it turned out - try to survive a pandemic)

Founder/Designer – The Business Bar

After years as a freelance designer, I craved the collaboration of working as a team toward something bigger so I started my own design studio. My amazing team and I worked with small business owners to design all things visual: identity, collateral, web, social, photo, video and a bit of interior.

Co-Founder – The Honest Boss

A creative community I started with my work-wife, Sarah, to connect with other small business owners, and commemorate what the day-to-day of being self-employed is really like!

We interviewed business owners and shared their stories on our blog and socials, hosted events IRL, and even created an iPhone sticker pack. We kept it real about the highs and lows, and met some amazing friends along the way.

Coming soon!

Freelance Designer,
Content Creator – Create Like Crazy

While in school learning design, I started helping friends with design needs as they started their own businesses. This snowballed into a freelance design job!

I also started Create Like Crazy, a blog where I created content for other creatives and small business owners with my friends.
