Home My work My resume

Hello,
my name is Jake
and I’m a giant pickle
Senior UX Designer.

This header is my little digital autoshop. I tool around with cool front-end plugins and put them up here from time-to-time.

It also might make the site run slow.. sometimes...

You can play around with this header on my Github.
