A few kind words from clients and collaborators:
“Jason and I worked together on a few projects at Custom Ink. I was constantly impressed with this eye for great design and layout. He has relentlessly high standards for his work and truly levels up everyone he collaborates with. His ability to hide complexity from customers with deceptively-simple designs and interactions distinguishes him from his peers.”
- Philip Pinette | Principal User Experience Designer, Amazon
“Jason examines brand experiences more exhaustively than anyone I know. He is considered in every detail, from what a prospect should feel when walking in your door to what might delight them long after their purchase.”
- Becky Nissel | Associate Creative Director, DNA Seattle
“Campos is a consummate creative. After collaborating with him on innumerable projects over the course of 6 years, I can confidently say that his customer obsession, design intuition, and raw taste, consistently result in expectation-shattering executions. Jason adds value equally in UX design for product needs, identity development, and branding work. He brings strong rationale for his design decisions and a rare ability to clearly communicate these to stakeholders and clients. Jason makes good work work well, and I look forward to making things with him again.”
- Josh Levine | Product Manager, Capital One
“It’s a privilege to have collaborated with Jason for over a decade on a wide range of design-centered problems, from identity creation, to customer experience overhauls, to business modeling. Never have I partnered with such a talented designer and inspiring storyteller who fluently spans the many disciplines of product design, UX, strategy, and innovation. All while navigating the practicalities of product development and the art of stakeholder influence. Jason levels up every room he enters with disruptive creativity, and conceptual reframing that spawns new paradigms and inspires innovation.”
- Joe Zaczyk | Innovation Strategist, Custom Ink
“Jason is a creative visionary and results-driven designer. He has the unique ability to understand the fundamental needs of consumers and translate them into work that connects in deep and meaningful ways. His creative vision, mastery of applied design, and commitment to the customer were critical in bringing our brand to life. His infectious passion for innovation and continuous experiential contributions were the drivers for breakthrough human-centered designs that dovetailed lasting customer relationships with material impact on the business.”
- Ben Carter | Business Development Strategist, Custom Ink
“We thought we knew exactly how we’d get our budding coffee company up and running, but it wasn’t until working with Jason that our eyes fully opened to the possibilities in front of us. Every step of his process, from onboarding and intention setting, through to polished executions helped us frame our mission and define our future. Oh, and did I mention that it was all remarkably fun?!”
