Jason Irla—Artist//Graphic Designer

About

I’m an artist and graphic designer who specializes in working with non-profits, small businesses, and entrepreneurs to develop visual solutions to help them achieve their goals. I‘m also a two-wheeled type-2 fun enthusiast, a former college professor, partner and husband to artist and professor Chloe Irla and father to our whip-smart 9-year-old. But wait, there’s more—I use design thinking to build and maintain natural surface trails and support the communities that use them. I’m a lover of museums, an avid reader, and have eclectic taste in music, books, and art. I am a product of the great mid-west—Detroit, Michigan to be specific—and now reside near Baltimore, Maryland. If you’re interested in something you’ve seen here or you’re looking for a thoughtful designer to work with get in touch with me.
