Bio
Donald Ford
I've always been impressed with Jake's graphic design skills. He is an all around creative individual and a great guy. He always brings good ideas and is a strait shooter when it comes to communicating those ideas. His creativity goes beyond graphic design. I also got to work with him on a few video projects and he has a good sense of humor. Also if you are a car or motorcycle buff you'll enjoy bantering about cars. His last name is a famous American auto brand after all. I'll let you find out which one by recommending getting in touch with him for any creative graphic design needs.
