About

Jared Young

I studied screenwriting and English at Western Michigan University. After graduating, I took my diploma and packed it in a tiny little box to pursue my culinary dreams. I learned the art of bar-b-que, the power of tequila, and seriously even considered moving to Vegas to open a food truck—but, truthfully, I was in a creative rut.

My post-college life felt a lot more like a series of minimum wage jobs that were strung together, than a career. One day I was remembered I used to be a scholarship awarded art student who could make things the world found visually compelling.  

So thank God for portfolio school. I learned Photoshop, Illustrator and even what InDesign was and I got pretty good at it if I do say so myself. Not only did I work myself out of that creative rut but my philosophy began to evolve, I found that making things that were visually interesting wasn't enough, it also had to matter. 

When it comes to advertising, I strive to make work that connects the brand to the consumer, in the most honest way possible.
