My name is Jason Rivera and I am an Art Director and Senior Graphic Designer based in Chicago.

My love for design started long before I knew what to call it. In grade school, I discovered the school's die-cutting machine tucked away in the basement, a room lined with shelves of wooden and rubber dies used to cut letters, shapes, borders, and more. I would spend hours turning those cutouts into decorated bulletin boards, and without knowing it, that's where my creative journey began.

In high school I leaned into that passion through art and graphic design classes, which led me to pursue a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Visual Communications.

Today I bring over 15 years of experience working with nationally recognized
brands across design, art direction, and campaign creative. I've led everything from storyboarding national television campaigns to directing photo and video shoots, designing large-scale environmental experiences, and producing digital campaigns that have reached audiences of nearly 144 million. I also work with a portfolio of boutique hotel properties nationwide, providing design and brand support across multiple brands.

Whether I'm working with a national brand or an independent client, my goal is always the same, to create work that connects, communicates, and leaves a lasting impression.

I hope you enjoy what you see as much as I enjoyed making it.
