About the Designer

Jake Cater

Hello! My name's Jake Cater and I am a professional graphic designer based in Door County, Wisconsin. Ever since I was young, I wanted to make things and figure how to make them. How to customize creative solutions to small problems I had. How can I make this more purposeful, more logical, more useful, and more beautiful. So, now I'm taking my skillsets and providing them as services!

​

My creativity and attention to detail with any project is unmatched. My work speaks for itself and now I want to help with your next design project. I want to design and make things custom to your needs and vision. From a logo to a custom LED back-lit sign, the possibilities are endless.
