While managing and directing the team of designers, Jake Messing also personally set style guides and designed all of the work shown above. In many cases this meant close and extensive contact with brand licensors in interpreting new looks for division lines, or collaborating closely to keep brand continuity with other core divisions. Much of the ODM and OEM product that’s shown in the design section was also developed and designed by Jake Messing and there is a separate section of the website that highlights his work in product design. Working across many divisions and categories gave Jake the opportunity to expand his knowledge of every facet of the product development process from start to finish. He worked closely with manufacturers, printing facilities, sales, planning/forecasting, partners and buyers for most major retailers in the U.S. and internationally.
