Meet Your Brand’s Biggest Cheerleader

Hey, I’m JZ —designer, creative strategist, and founder of JZaccorDesigns. I’m also a certified yoga teacher, 10 years free from alcohol, and someone who moved to Vermont for the mountains, and a life that feels real.

After years in the fast lane designing for brands like LinkedIn and iHeartRadio, I built my own business from the ground up—and turned it into a sustainable, six-figure creative studio that honors who I am, not just what I do.

Now, I help purpose-driven humans and companies do the same. Whether you’re launching your first brand, leveling up your presence, or need support managing in-house creative - I’m here to help you feel clear, confident, supported and lit up about your project—start to finish.

These legends trusted me with their brands—and I’m so proud of what we built together.

  • "Jakee truly blew me away with her design skills and her execution. I couldn't believe how quickly she was able to understand my vision for the website and make it even more beautiful than I had dreamed. One person seriously told me that it was the most beautiful website they've ever seen. My website is for an online product business so it's incredibly important that the site itself looks good because it's the only contact point most people will have with my brand. And she totally nailed the vibes of the brand and was able to convey the information about the product in a clear, yet incredibly creative way. 100% would recommend Jakee to anyone looking for a designer."

  • "Working with Jakee was beyond what I hoped or imagined working with a designer would be like to create a new brand for my nutrition business. Jakee really listened to me every time we interacted, and it showed in her designs. She was patient with me as we went through each step of the creative journey, and she received my feedback so graciously and then acted on it. Jakee's confidence and personality shine through her work, and I am thrilled with the end result of what is now the new brand for Hoopes Health. She absolutely nailed it. What's more, it's FUN to work with Jakee because she brings authenticity into every situation. I plan to work with Jakee going forward as Hoopes Health evolves and grows, and I would recommend her to anyone looking to add life and creativity to whatever your project is!"

Apex Ski Boots

JZ is exactly the person we needed to help update and reimagine the Apex brand. I never knew a re-brand could be fun, but JZ made it so. So stoked on how it came out.

Right from the start, it was clear that Jakee understood my goal, vibe, and the overall messaging I was going for on my site refresh. As my website is often the first thing potential clients see when they want to learn more about my work, this felt incredibly important. I couldn’t recommend working with Jakee enough!
