Simply put, Think Up’s “creative cure” makes things work. Enthusiastic about change and continuous improvement, Jake gets fired up about transforming challenges into opportunities for better design. As the leader of our Product Development team, Jake oversees the creation of meaningful learning experiences and products that strike the perfect balance between form and function. Drawing from his experiences as a designer, Creative Director, and Senior Director of Creative Production for Global Learning with Marriott, Jake’s glass-half-full attitude and aptitude for problem-solving make him an indispensable part of Think Up. Leading Think Up’s culture of innovation, Jake has a knack for taking things to the next level – from creating space for Thinkers to try new things and discuss trends, to developing new ideas through prototyping, to storytelling through video and interactive experiences. Jake received his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design from the California College of the Arts and holds a Master of Science – Internet Marketing from Full Sail University. Jake has taught design courses as an Adjunct Professor at the George Mason University School of Arts. In his own words: “I create. I build. I disrupt …and of course reunite … and deep-fry the solution when possible.”
