Jacob Frank
My name’s Jacob and this is my website
I'm a San Francisco based designer, technologist, and civic tech strategist who takes bike rides down hills and walks up big ones.

Currently, I'm an experience designer working on Adobe's design system, Spectrum where I design the Spectrum for Adobe XD plugin, and help grow the Spectrum Design Language. On the side, I work on SF Service Guide, leading a team of designers and managing the project with other wonderful people.

More about me
Prior to Adobe I studied at RIT and graduated from the School of Individualized Studies where I spent most of my time managing and working on a yearly design conference with some inspiring faculty and students. I keep a list of design resources for anyone interested in getting into the field I spend the rest of my time cooking, getting lost on Wikipedia, reading comics and taking poorly lit photographs.
