Jesse Smith Art & Design Portfolio
why choose me?
With 7+ years of creative conception and design, both in-house and freelance, I am a versatile artist with an aptitude for visual storytelling and composition, a love of typography, a healthy concern for production quality—and an eye for the details. I love collaborative projects and am able to integrate smoothly into nearly any team. That said, I also work efficiently alone as a highly capable, responsible, and independent self-starter. I’m a life-long learner who enjoys giving & receiving creative direction.
Key Strengths
Creating graphic collateral for digital and print. I’m a well-rounded designer who adapts easily to new challenges and an expert problem solver.
I'm also a fairly friendly fella who's quiet, kind, and just generally a pleasure to have around. (Or so I've been told.)
Jesse is a true multi-tool, multi-channel talent—graphic design to illustration, print to digital. His even-keel attitude, combined with a strong work ethic and continuous improvement outlook, made him a valued collaborator and contributor to our team.

Testimonials
Jesse combines impressive technical skills with an adaptable, audience-focused mindset that created value for our organization. Our core values came to life in his work and deeply resonated with our associates.
ERM Group
Being involved in corporate and community events as well as departmental and organizational initiatives, we had a variety of graphic design, photography, and digital needs to bring to life. All of which were amazing. Jesse always listened to what we needed to accomplish, for the type of event, audience, and goals.
The Cleveland Museum of Art
He was always a creative but messy child. Thankfully, now, he keeps his house very orderly, tidy, and clean and I can only imagine his files are the same way.
