AT A GLANCE ➴

I’m Jared Trask, I build brand systems and campaign creative, teach digital design and advertising, and maintain an active fine art practice.

I lead brand systems and campaign creative across web, email, social, print, and experiential touch points, translating strategy into design that’s clear, consistent, and production-ready.

In higher education, I teach digital design and advertising through portfolio-driven learning, studio critique, and real-world workflows, helping students build craft, confidence, and professional clarity.

As a branding designer, I focus on typography, hierarchy, and visual systems that scale. As an artist, I maintain an active fine art practice in acrylic painting, figure drawing, and mural work, bringing a studio mindset into every project.
