Portrait of Jeffery Hake

Hello, Friend

Fourteen years
of creativity.

I'm a creative and hard-working designer who strives to build the best product possible for the client — an excellent team player who manages multiple projects and hits deadlines. Detail-oriented and proficient across print and digital, still growing as both a professional and a leader. A positive attitude that builds strong, productive relationships with vendors, contractors, printers, and clients.
