I'm Jacob — an Industrial Designer from Calgary, now based in London. I grew up between open prairies and vast mountains, and that contrast shaped how I see the world. Not good or bad, but deliberate — every detail serving its demands, context, and place.
I design with conviction in material honesty. Let function speak. Let structure reveal itself. Nothing added that obscures the truth, nothing removed that lent purpose. The backside of a fence is a fence — the unseen, the unnoticed, all of it matters. My influences cross disciplines: the iPod's seamless continuity, Dieter Rams' system design built to endure, Bugatti's devotion to detail you'll never see. These aren't just design references — they're principles I carry into how I work and what I value.
I'm drawn to work where craft and intent are inseparable. Whether that's automotive, furniture, product, or systems — I'm looking for the place where care for every detail isn't optional, it's the standard.
