The Team, Near and Far
Also affectionately referred to as “The Face of the Place,” Paul is the driving creative force at Jacober Creative. A California boy at heart, he spent his formative years studying Journalism at Pepperdine University in Malibu. Later, he would go on to hone his design skills in New York’s early 90’s publishing scene, including Vibe, New York Magazine and a now defunct postcard design company (long live print!). After realizing he was a little more SoBe than L.E.S., Paul moved to Miami where he started building up a strong roster of clients in the arts and later real estate… the foundation of the current iteration of Jacober Creative.
When Paul isn’t weighing the benefits of circles vs. triangles, he’s discovering new destinations, preferably those with a distinct music scene and a strong architectural presence. Should he get lost, you’ll find him bopping to French Disco in a signature blue shirt, asking what’s for dessert.
A man of many hats (both figuratively and literally) Daniel is a partner at Jacober Creative, our resident Industrial Design expert, and Head of Business Development. Born in El Salvador where he started his career at Ogilvy & Mather after graduating from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, he soon realized he wanted to hone his knowledge of marketing and budget management and jumped at the opportunity to get his MBA from EAE Business School in Barcelona.
Our brand strategist brings over 11 years of working in Marketing and Advertising to Jacober Creative. After studying marketing at Florida State, she landed in New York working at Condé Nast for several years, first at Bon Appétit, then with SELF, Vanity Fair, and Vogue. She then made the jump to the wild world of startups, spending three years at Gilt Groupe.
Originally from Colombia, Luisa was raised in Disneylandia, but has lived in New York, Miami, and Los Angeles. Our resident fashion critic and a skillful cook, an invite to one of her dinner parties is one of Miami’s most coveted “get.”
Adriana is our Miami-based Art Director and calligrapher extraordinaire. Originally hailing from Guatemala, but a 305’er most of her life – she attended Miami International University of Art and Design where she received her BFA in Graphic Design. Adriana brings over 10 years of design experience (and discriminating taste) to Jacober Creative and was the lead Photographer and Art Director on the Simply Surfside campaign that received Gold AND “Best in Show” awards at the Visit Florida Flagler awards in 2016.
A fan of juxtaposing high and low, Adriana is currently applying her design skills to home renovation in the Little River District, where she plans on throwing a “High Tea” party in honor of Florida’s newly relaxed botanical laws.
Hailing from Cheltenham (aka The Garden Town of England) — Kerry was on her way to Australia when she made a pitstop in Miami for 15 years. With a background in Accounting and a specialization in computer systems design & installation, Kerry began programming (for fun!) by picking up a couple of books out of sheer curiosity.
Today, she leads an expert team of Jacober Creative developers in their preferred platform of Django/Python — which we love for its elegance, power and simplicity — much like Kerry herself. In addition to her encyclopedic programming knowledge, Kerry is also a veritable Michelin Guide on St. Petersburg, Florida’s best happy hours.
Doing her best Texas Two Step all the way from Austin to Miami, Nicole brings her marketing experience and commitment to making her own work contribute to the greater social good to Jacober Creative. She adds her grounding as a professional photographer to the mix, and of course is fluent in all sorts of current digital media and software.
Nicole earned a B.S. in advertising with a minor in Spanish, from the University of Austin, as well as a year studying in Barcelona. Naturally she loves tacos, Florida sunsets, and traveling.
One of those hard-to-find born and raised Miami people, Kathie has only recently returned to the Magic City after a stint in North Carolina. She completed a Bachelors in Emerging Media and Graphic Design from the University of Central Florida in Orlando, and is a great addition to the Jacober Creative family.
With a slight mix of Bettie Page and Kat Van D, she’s a long-time art lover, with a specialty in all things print, and has had her work featured by AIGA Orlando and Charlotte. A Japanophile and vegetarian, Kathie is an “old soul” with an affinity for 50s and 60s music.
Bowie tumbled into our lives when he was brought to our office on Halloween 2016, in need of a home. He’s been working in our client relations department ever since. He regularly sits in on creative meetings and proactively lends a hand (paw), mostly around lunchtime.
Charlie is our Chief Canine Officer. Although lacking in size, he makes up for it by scaling the tallest object. Probably the most judicious member of our team, he enjoys long naps and going commando whenever possible.

We have an open, collaborative way of working based on partnership and understanding relationships
Some of our clients have worked with us for years, from initial logo design to an annual refresh of a website - as ever-changing technologies and fashions demand. Some work with us when they simply need our help, and fast. The nature of the relationships may vary, but we're equally focused on bringing value to all of them.
We have a never - ending desire to work on a great brand with great people. When JugoFresh needed a new identity, logo and website Jacober Creative delivered. When the Town of Surfside wanted a new image and slogan Jacober Creative is the Miami design firm they called. From Malibu, to Manhattan, Miami and Madrid, we have clients in different states and countries. State lines and foreign languages are no barriers to our skills and talents.
