About Jacob Waites
I\'m a design leader who transforms complex ideas into compelling brands and experiences. With specialization in visual design, interaction design, and team building, I\'ve helped organizations from IDEO to the U.S. Surgeon General turn abstract concepts into real brands and products.Currently Founding Designer at MagicPath, I specialize in 0-to-1 environments where I design, prototype, and code (React, Framer, Webflow) to bring ideas to life quickly. I lead teams by example, moving fluidly between high-level creative direction and hands-on prototyping to ensure ideas become reality.My work centers on three principles: fostering creative community, enabling others\' success, and designing for meaningful impact. Whether it\'s translating health policy into visual narratives or prototyping blockchain experiences, I help teams find their voice and make it heard.
