Jay worked tirelessly to capture the perfect image for my brand. We walked through the process together and he made sure that at every step I was involved and my voice was heard. He took my vision and transformed it into a design that I love. Jay is amazing at what he does and is not just a designer but a creative consultant.

Choosing Jason Jay to help brand my new podcast was the best decision I could have made. Aside from the final visual identity, which I’m definitely happy about, his branding exercises and the questions he asked during the prototyping phases helped me in other aspects of the launch, narrowing my focus and helping me see my own project through new eyes. I asked for a symbol, but walked away with a roadmap that's informing everything else I'm doing."

Jason Jay’s work impressed me on multiple levels. His combination of creativity and professionalism was exactly what I needed. He listened effectively to what I was seeking, brought forward a brilliant set of design ideas for my consideration, and did it all in a timely manner. He truly is a designer that cares about the customers needs which is why I recommend Jason unequivocally and would hire him again in a nanosecond.
