I really enjoyed working with Jarrod at Instawork, where I hired and managed him. He’s a creative leader who makes the people around him better, combining strong strategic thinking with the ability to get great work out the door. Jarrod is highly collaborative, with a strong point of view and great creative judgment. He knows when to work within an established design system and when to push the work somewhere more interesting, always making the process feel like a true team effort.He’s also simply a great person to have on your team. I’d gladly hire him again and recommend him without hesitation.

Jarrod was the perfect design partner.
He built, refined, and elevated our brand. Wherever people interacted with our brand, in sales calls or on our site, they were more likely to buy and retain.
He made our job on the growth team easier and more productive.
Brian Miller
Director of Growth Marketing - Instawork
Jarrod joined our team at a critical moment during a major brand refresh and quickly took the lead on developing our new packaging system, retail language, and website redesign. He delivered across every stage of the process from concept and design through production and launch. The packaging system has since scaled across multiple retailers and international markets, including Korean, Japanese, and French. His ability to seamlessly translate brand thinking across both physical and digital experiences made him an invaluable partner.

Jarrod is a pleasure to work with. His expertise in typography, grids, and vector graphics brings a unique perspective to the team, and his distinctive creative style has helped move Blurb forward as a more creative company. He fully invests himself in his work, embraces new challenges, and is honest when things don't go as planned. He consistently goes above and beyond to help the team find solutions and sees projects through to completion. Jarrod's collaborative nature, creativity, and strong work ethic make him the kind of person you want on your team.
