I design & build engaging email experiences

Ernesto Lopez

Associate Director, Global Subscriber Acquisition at The Washington Post

I had the pleasure of working closely with Jason, and I can confidently say he is one of the most solutions-oriented designers I’ve partnered with.

He consistently brought a true can-do mindset to work. No matter how complex or ambitious the request, he approached it with curiosity, creativity, and determination — always finding a way to make it happen. Whether navigating tight timelines, technical constraints, or evolving business needs, he remained steady, resourceful, and focused on delivering high-quality work.

Beyond his technical skill, what really sets him apart is his professionalism and attitude. He collaborates with ease, communicates clearly, and brings a positive, composed presence to every project. Teams trust him not just because he delivers, but because he does so with integrity and a genuine commitment to partnership.

Any organization would be fortunate to have Jason on their team.

Sheila Hayes

Creative Director at The Washington Post

I’m delighted to recommend Jason. We’ve worked together since I started at The Post in 2019, when he was already a steady, trusted presence on our subscriptions marketing team. In those early days, it was just the two of us delivering creative for those campaigns. I was the words, he was the pictures, and I relied heavily on him to show me the ropes. As our team grew into the larger Brand Studio for The Post, Jason eagerly took on new and different responsibilities, expanding his impact exactly where it was needed within the organization.

Against the backdrop of a turbulent media industry, Jason is unflappable. Deadlines tighten? Priorities shift? Entire strategies pivot mid-flight? Jason remains calm, patient, and solutions-oriented. While the rest of us might feel the pressure creeping in, he’s already mapping out a path forward.

He has an extraordinary ability to operate across multiple projects simultaneously and still deliver — often overdeliver. He’s fast, but never at the expense of quality or thoughtfulness. He works quickly because he understands the systems deeply and plans strategically.

His conceptual skills extend well beyond designing and developing emails (though he does that exceptionally well). With more than 15 years of experience building high-performing email campaigns and lifecycle programs, Jason combines responsive HTML development, modular systems thinking, and sharp visual design into work that is both beautiful and technically precise. He understands how creative execution and technical performance must work hand-in-hand — especially in sophisticated CRM and automation environments — and he moves seamlessly between those worlds.

Equally important, Jason is a relationship builder. He collaborates with everyone with patience and respect. People trust him. If you’re seeking a senior email design and development leader – one who values both creative excellence and technical rigor, give Jason a call. Jason doesn’t just get the work done. He elevates it. And he makes the people around him better in the process.

Tova Diamond

Head of Brand Creative at The Washington Post

I had the pleasure of managing Jason as Design Lead/Senior Designer & Developer for nearly four years, and he consistently stood out for his technical depth and reliability. He is uniquely gifted at email design and development in particular. He has a deep understanding of the platform and accessibility nuances that make email uniquely complex, and he built with a level of precision that ensured performance across clients, devices, and assistive technologies.

He is a sharp, methodical problem solver who approached challenges with curiosity and rigor. He invests continuously in learning, stayed ahead of evolving tools and standards, and greatly elevated the team, myself included, through that knowledge.

Just as important, he brought an incredible work ethic and an unflappable attitude. Calm under pressure and steady through shifting priorities, he was the kind of senior level contributor every team wants — dependable, thoughtful, and deeply skilled.

Kristine Coratti Kelly

CEO of Tenning

I’ve seen Jason in action, and he is not only an extraordinary designer who always understands the brief, but he is an exceptional project manager who never misses a deadline. I always felt confident when I knew Jason was handling a project, and I’m so grateful for him.

Perrin Lawrence

Senior Marketing & Growth Executive

Jason gets it done. He’s a designer first, and when he needed to be, he became a coder so he can deploy even in rustic infrastructure. Above all, he’s a team player: a mentor to other designers, a volunteer for the work that needs to be done, a good human. I truly hope I get to work with Jason again.
