Hey there! I’m Jake, a graphic design artist and marketing consultant fueled by a deep passion for creativity, visual storytelling, and the spirit of entrepreneurship living in Manhattan, Kansas surrounded by the beautiful Flint Hills.
At Open Range Creative, we’re cultivating creativity for the hands that feed us. But that’s just the beginning!
From an early age, I was drawn to the power of design. The way a single image can capture attention, evoke emotion, and tell a compelling story without saying a word has always captivated me. That fascination quickly turned into a lifelong pursuit. Today, I bring that same energy and curiosity to every project I take on, whether it's branding for a startup, packaging for a new product, or digital/printable promotional item to help boost sales.
What drives me isn’t just great design, it’s the opportunity to collaborate with dreamers, builders, and changemakers. I believe that bold ideas deserve bold visuals, and I’m here to help bring them to life with thoughtful design solutions that are creative, strategic, and lasting.
As an entrepreneur myself, I understand the hustle, the heart, and the big-picture thinking it takes to grow something from the ground up. That’s why I don’t just design — I partner with clients to help them visually define their voice, stand out in their industry, and connect with their audience in a meaningful way.
Thanks for stopping by. I’m glad you’re here. Let’s create something unforgettable together.
