GET TO KNOW ME!
Hi, I'm Jesse Parks. I'm the guy behind all this, and if you work with JPDC, you're working directly with me. I have over ten years of experience in design, but almost equally as important, I have experience in listening. I love dreamers, and JPDC was established with the understanding that design is about people; it's about listening to the passion and dreams you have for what you do and expressing that to other people in an effective way that solves a particular problem. I've always had a reverence for the craftsman, the act of working with your hands to create something timeless that can tastefully and artistically solve a problem.
Truthfully, I like to consider myself just as much a craftsman as a designer because I too want the work I do to stand the test of time, and I understand that what I do for the clients I serve is an extension of my knowledge and experience. I'm no stranger to hard work, and I don't like to settle for "good enough" or "fine"; those are unacceptable terms to express your brand, and my job is to get you to "damn near perfect". If you work with me, I want you to feel comfortable knowing that I care about what I do and that the final result will speak not only to your audience but also to the vision you had when you started dreaming.
Keep dreaming!

The Craftsman
I ply with all the cunning of my art This little thing, and with consummate care
I fashion it—so that when I depart,
Those who come after me shall find it fair
And beautiful. It must be free of flaws—
Pointing no laborings of weary hands;
And there must be no flouting of the laws
Of beauty—as the artist understands.
Through passion, yearnings infinite—yet dumb—
I lift you from the depths of my own mind
And gild you with my soul’s white heat to plumb
The souls of future men. I leave behind
This thing that in return this solace gives:
“He who creates true beauty ever lives.”
