jake coughlin is saying hi to netflix

10+ years working for creative agencies. spent years as a studio designer (motion/3D) & now lead scalable design solutions in creative teams. my motto is to alievate pain in the studio team, from creating templates or plugins to crafting tangible design systems. 1 part motion, 1 part developer, 1 part trying to learn how we can do it  better.

la born, currently in brooklyn. outside work i like to build shitty robots, convince everyone to meet at prospect park, & get bullied by my giant dog.
