Hey, I’m Jacob.
I’m a Creative Lead, illustrator and painter based in sunny Bournemouth
At present, I am Creative Lead at Zest, an appliance repair and care company.
During my time at Zest I have worked on various projects including rebranding, print-based material, digital adverts, social media, building designs, van wraps, web design and stand designs. I have collaborated with various internal teams including HR, which has helped to improve our employees’ experience.
I have a keen interest in films, animation, video games, typography, screen-printing, illustration, travelling, bike riding, and street art/ graffiti. In my spare time I tend to spend a lot of it trying to make decrepit walls look pretty! This gives me complete creative freedom with confidence and also helps me grow as an artist out of the office. It pushes my typography skills with weight and style but also drives me deeper into my imagination for drawing characters and painting boards. Throughout my education, I have tried to push boundaries, develop my work, and meet new challenges.

Working with Jacob is a positive experience. He is professional, responsive, and easy to communicate with throughout any project required of him. He takes the time to understand my specific needs and goals for the design, and provides a number of different options and revisions to choose from. One of the best things about working with Jacob is his ability to understand my requirements and run with the idea and bring it to life. He takes on board my feedback and is always willing to make any necessary tweaks and adjustments to ensure and never complains! Overall, I love collaborating with Jacob to enhance the people journey, and it’s clear to see the difference his work has made in the business over the last 4 years. It’s 5 stars from me!
Pippa Samuel Recruitment Manager at Zest
Jacob has supported all of Zest’s recruitment marketing over the last 3 years to a very high standard. He always delivers over and above requirements, on brand and offers his creative ideas and talent to ensure that we produce the highest quality of work. We often have last minute requirements and Jacob will ensure that he prioritises these demands despite his workload, but he never compromises on the standard of work he produces. Jacob has amazing vision to be able to create copy from often a very basic brief, he has transformed our employer brand and is always a pleasure to work with. (careers@zestplan.com is a great example and the interview presentations)

Jacob has been a pleasure to work with. The quality of his work is exceptional and he is always willing to help out anyone in the business. No job is too big or too small. Jacob goes above and beyond to deliver graphics that not only meet the initial brief but exceed on it. Jacob's attitude and friendly nature are what set's him apart. His dedication and passion to deliver creative outcomes for the business really shows in all the work he produces.
