A Tennessee native, Sasha began making silkscreen posters for Memphis' independent music scene in 2001, while earning a degree in printmaking at the University. The posters paved the way for new design clients locally and nationally, and led to a myriad of experiences and growth in the freelance design and illustration world. A year after graduating from the University, he relocated to Seattle, WA in 2007 for a change of scenery and new opportunities. He lucked his way in to the art department of Sub Pop Records, where he has been since. When not toiling away with albums and other label goods, he finds some time for Amigos Skateboards, a skateboard company he art directs and co-owns with a group of friends, and the occasional freelance or poster gig. He has fallen for the Northwest, but deeply misses the South.

The word “entrepreneur” is a fancy word that really means “someone who has the drive and tenacity to get things done.”

In Jason B. Jones’ short career he has assisted in starting two award-winning design agencies and caught the Dot-Com boom as it rolled through Silicon Valley with a San Francisco start-up. His business savvy-approach to the creative process has made him a valuable asset, truly unique among his peers.

He currently serves as Web Protagonist & Co-Owner of Nashville-based design firm Otterball as well as Creative Director at web-app development house Tyemill. Current duties revolve around designer development, creative strategy, brand management and conceptual design.

He has had the opportunity to work closely with such clients as Warby Parker, Bonobos, Ivanka Trump, CMT, EMI, Sony and Warner Bros.

Jason is married to his wife Rebecca and is the proud father to two dachshunds. When he is not producing and managing design for his clients, Jason spends his time as a regular contributor to .NET Magazine, speaking regularly on design related topics, and serving as Interactive Media Director for Nashville’s Musicians Corner, a city-wide initiative bringing the Nashville music community together.
