Meet Your Designer

Hi! My name is Jake Gesick, and I specialize in brand identity and marketing systems. As a designer, I help businesses create a consistent and lasting impression on their audience. My real passion for design is in storytelling. Design isn’t just making something look good visually, but ensuring a brand's purpose, history, and personality are expressed effectively.

Design History

I have been a graphic designer for 6+ years. My design journey began in a high school VisComm class in 2017. This class led me to earn my BFA in Visual Communication from Ball State University in 2022. From there, I moved to Nashville, TN, working as an in-house designer for a few years before starting my freelance design business, JG Designed, in 2025.

The right phone displays interior photos of a house, including a kitchen, living room, bathroom, bedroom, porch, and a backyard, along with contact information for a real estate agent.

Outside of Design

My favorite pastimes are playing games, whether it’s relaxing with a video game or sitting down with friends to enjoy a tabletop game. I got married to my lovely wife in November of 2025, and we enjoy a whole host of nerdy activities from binging LOTR to exploring our local Ren Faire. We also have two adorable fur babies, Kiwi and Sting.

Two cats, one with black and white fur and the other with gray tabby fur, are sleeping closely together on a soft surface. The black and white cat's face is visible with eyes closed, and the gray tabby cat's head is resting next to the black and white cat. In the background, a person is resting their arm on the surface, and a framed photograph of two people is hanging on the wall behind them.
