Co-Founder: FabFitFun
Jack is the kind of designer that you want on your team. I had the pleasure to work with Jack at FabFitFun. He is an excellent multidisciplinary creative director and designer. He worked on a variety of campaigns and projects – everything from web/digital to print to photography to packaging to logos. He is a true ‘Jack’ of all trades. ☺ He is thoughtful, smart, creative and hard-working. He can think outside of the box and knows how to get the job done quickly and efficiently. Jack was responsible for the entire art direction of the brand and was able to hit right tone and artwork on a variety of extremely different projects and goals. With tons of initiative, Jack has the ability to think in large contexts while still paying attention to the details. He has a great eye and helped to raise the overall aesthetic of the brand. On a more personal note he is just a pleasure to work with. He is upbeat, incredibly sweet and fun to be around. In an often stressful and fast-paced environment Jack constantly remained calm, cheerful and conscientious. He was well liked by everyone in the office. He is a great team player and again someone that you most definitely want on your team!
Kathleen Cohen
Founder & XR Strategist: The Collaboratorium
I’ve had the pleasure working with Jack on several high profile design projects and have always received great feedback from clients on his work. Online and offline, from websites and advertising to large scale presentations, Jack’s design aesthetic is always trending and contemporary — and his attention to detail is always baked in. Jack is a seasoned professional in the industry, and thus I know he will handle all the production management and design decisions that may be required, taking into account any/all back-end requirements. If it’s wisdom and expertise you want in design and decision making, Jack’s got it! He has a great attitude and is very positive — even in the thick of scaled back scope, tight deadline, and of course, Murphy’s Law. I’d highly recommend Jack if you are looking to hire that “go-to” designer or help with your creative direction and branding!

Founder: Law Offices of Kelly D. Shapiro
I could not recommend Jack more. I have been blown away by his creative direction and imagination. He has far exceeded my expectations and I am humbled to be a client of his. He has brought my project from a 1 to a 10 million and created the best logo that perfectly fits my vibe. He’s a joy to work with and I will be referring him to everyone I know. Truly a gem!
Adam MacFarlane
Founder & Principal: VIA FX
I was introduced to Jack for some guidance on setting up a website, and politely told by the introducing party that the best move was to give some guidelines and step back and let him go to work – 2 websites later (currency business and non-profit including creating the logos) I STRONGLY STRONGLY recommend having Jack do anything you need creatively. I am frequently asked where I thought up the colour schemes/designs, and frequently get compliments/praise for both sites.

Founder & CEO: pheel®
Jack really brings the puzzle of branding and strategic communications all together. Working with Jack has been an amazing explosion of two minds coming together in a collaborative effort to articulate a story that has beautiful design, clean copy, and unique branding. Every thought I had, Jack would take the time to understand and articulate my vision into an artistic masterpiece that spoke volumes to everyone who saw it. Whether you’re looking for creative direction, design, copywriting or branding, Jack will work diligently at your side to translate your vision into reality. He is a master at bringing the intangible into the tangible realm.
George Kolber
Managing Member: GVK Limited
I found Jack most talented and creative – and easy to work with. He tapped not only into his imagination but also the many resources available to him. Mine was a large marketing project that Jack completed enthusiastically and timely and which received rave reviews from my target audience. I plan to use him again.
Hawa Macalou
Founder & Principal: Amazement Media
I’ve worked with a lot of designers and Jack is a real find. He’s creative and independent, so he can be relied upon to take a project and run with it. At the same time, he’s also an excellent collaborator; he is always flexible about changing direction if need be in order to support the project goals. He’s also very knowledgable about web and print design so that I’ve come to value his input tremendously from all kinds of projects, from landing pages and social media collateral to book design. Jack is always professional and he can be depended on to do whatever it takes to get a project done well and on time. He communicates well, which makes working with him very easy. I hope to continue working with him for a long time, and I would recommend him as a valuable addition to any team.
Geneva Montine Blank
Owner, Founder, & Principal: The More You
Jack’s my favorite creative designer and the first person I call for a project. Working together is smooth, fun, and professional. His laser focus, natural creative talent, commitment to completion, and ability to craft high-level design results quickly makes him super reliable as well. Jack brings deep insights across vertical markets so he deftly varies style according to audiences. Plus, he knows visual marketing and the online industry better than anyone else I know.
Justin Hibbard
Owner: Just The Voice Productions
I’ve known Jack for years and have always been blown away by the breadth of his creativity and professionalism. So when I hired Jack to do a complete revamp of my company’s online presence, I knew he’d do a stellar job. In fact, he far exceeded all of my requirements. His creative intuition is unparalleled. He knew what I needed without me asking. He made the process simple and painless. I highly recommend Jack for any creative design work!
Zach Tann
Producer: Magnet Management
The work Jack did for our entertainment website was spectacular. Aside from the design and functionality, what most impressed me was how responsive Jack was to any ongoing issues that came up and how each issue would get solved in a timely fashion.
Bill Ennis
Creative Director: Barrel O’ Monkeyz
I’ve worked with Jack for over a decade, and for a variety of clients. He constantly strives to improve his chops, be it as a brand expert, a creative director with high-level conceptualization and project management, or as a man willing to get his fingers dirty in the trenches of design. That aspect of his character – that he is a perpetual information and design sponge – is what makes him a formidable creative pro. I have loved working with him, and I’ll wager you will too.
Esquire Jauchem
Director/Screenwriter/Producer
Jack is an amazing designer. He has done wonderful work for me. Not only that but he is a joy to work with. I highly recommend Jack for any future branding or design projects you may have.
Kim Vu
Owner: Sorry Not Sorry and Vucacious Catering
Jack Gatlin is my go-to creative specialist for all of my branding, marketing, and design needs for both my companies. His intake process is extensive, and he is focused on translating my brand concepts and brand identities into visual collateral that tells our story in an emotionally and intellectually impactful way. He takes the time to draw out the nuances of the brand concept even when I am not able to articulate them. The result is always visually beautiful, and he delivers on-time and on-budget. I often rely on his vast experience for guidance in the collateral production process, and I have always been pleased with the results. Our clients often comment on how beautiful the materials are. Jack is easy to work with, very accessible, and always responsive. Highly recommend.
Sarah Suzor
Owner/Founder – INK, LLC
I hired Jack to create my website for my Palm Springs vacation rental. It was absolutely amazing working with him throughout this process: he worked with me on developing a name, logo, and branding for my vacation rental company, traveled to my location, took photos of the property, spent hours editing the shots, and (within a week!!!) my site was up and running. I am SO proud to share the site with friends, family and guests. As a photographer, his photos of my space are so gorgeous, and he took the time to work with me to get the exact images I wanted to depict the property: precise angles, perfect lighting, evening and day-time shots. As a web designer, he went above and beyond to add in all the little details I was hoping to share with the public: he created a virtual map of the layout, and added local scenes from the surrounding attractions and businesses. I call him my “one-stop-shop” because he possesses all the skills, talent and contemporary web knowledge to (literally) do it all. I can’t wait to work on another project with him in the future.
Paul June
VP of Marketing: Mobile Edge
Jack is nothing short of amazing to work with. His solution oriented can-do attitude is a pleasure as he keeps his eye on the prize of positive results for his client and/or company. I look forward to continuing to work with Jack in the future!
Sarah Michal Haaf
Co-Founder: Smere Essential Oils
Jack is very professional and easy to work with. As a photographer, he has a great eye and pristine focus. He is friendly, works with a variety of budgets, and we can’t wait to hire him again! I highly recommend hiring Jack, as we were extremely pleased with our product photographs.
Lisa Welch
Founder: Brand Therapy, LLC
Thanks to a strong recommendation from a colleague, I had the pleasure of being introduced to Jack as a resource for a presentation design project. With a very high level briefing and short turn around time, Jack delivered a look and feel that really brought the presentation to life. Jack is a great communicator and very easy to work with, and I’d recommend him highly.
Derick Dorner
Founder and CEO, Schedulehead
After having the opportunity to work with Jack, he is my definition of a talented designer. When I think of creative design, I think of him. He’s got the chops needed to interpret what a client needs and wants, and translate that into high performing, thoughtful design. He’s one of those people whose talent you can’t help but notice, and you’re glad to have them on your team.
Marisa Cole
