Hello. I'm Jared. I'm a senior graphic artist with extensive design experience in a wide range of mediums. Visual Ether is an online display of my work, as well as information about what I've done and for whom. I use a variety of digital tools in my artistic process and this site will hopefully give you an idea of what I can do for you. For design inquiries or questions drop me a line. Cheers!
Ether is both nothing and everything at the same time. It's stillness, yet it's the very thing that makes all movement and life possible.
I am a highly creative and multitalented graphic artist with over 20 years experience in web and application development, advertising, marketing, and print design. I am a passionate and innovative artist, creating a wide range of design solutions and processes while performing under deadline-driven environments, well above client expectations. My major strengths are in campaign conceptualization, development, and implementation across UX, UI, 3D and visual design.
With experience in all phases of development, I'm able to visualize the full scope, process, and outcome that brings collaboration into implementation. Knowing the design not only influences other aspects of the product, but how that process and setup play a crucial part in production, development, and the long-term success. Said simply, "order of operations" makes a difference in efficiency, quality and time.
A strong eye for design aesthetics, along with creative artistry, allow me to take current design guides and assets and bring them to life. A full understanding of the creative and technical details that truly matter in the final outcome, which often change depending on the medium.
Up to date with the latest design styles and when to follow the pack, or walk the inventive path. As someone obsessed with design and art, I often find inspiration and solutions from unlikely sources and have the ability to translate it and mold it into relative design solutions.
Strong understanding of how design needs to work with code, platform, and environment to drive the best experience. Years of experience in a wide range of industries and technologies give me the knowledge to create solutions beyond just the design, but a connection with the variety of departments, people and customers.
Design can be a daunting task, but with over 20 years of design experience, across a multitude of mediums, my toolset can be the solution. Whether you are looking for just some icons, or maybe some small edits to an existing design, or even an entire brand created only from a few ideas rolling around in your head. I have experience doing all of it. With extensive professional experience in UI, 3D, games, marketing, and clothing, my passion for design and creativity makes me an instrument of design success.
I have design experience in high fidelity visual design, UX/UI,
concepting, digital, print, and PoP marketing materials, mobile
and web application, as well as basic industrial design. I have
worked in the game industry, product development, marketing, and
even clothing. I use a variety of digital tools to bring ideas to
life. I have created brands, user experiences, high fidelity
visuals, as well as developed design strategies for dynamic
solutions. I use a unique software pipeline and process,
leveraging 3D software like zBrush, Marvelous Designer, Substance
Painter, Keyshot, and Maya to then leverage my 2D skillset of
illustration, including drawing and photo manipulation in
Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. This unique process allows
for a quick, efficient and adaptable workflow that can tackle any
design needs.
When we engage in what we are naturally suited to do, our work takes on the quality of play, and it is play that stimulates creativity.
