Whiskey Jack Creative is a graphic design and branding studio based in the borough of Phoenixville in southeastern Pennsylvania.
Named for the playful and inquisitive Whiskey Jack (also known as the Canada Jay) that can be found throughout the boreal forests of Canada and America. The bird seemed like a fitting allusion to the career and background of Mike Taylor, the designer and one-man dynamo behind Whiskey Jack Creative.
“Mike’s been the driving force behind the creative at Rocky Mountain for several years and has been instrumental in developing our brand guidelines, content, and how we show up in the world.”
— Stephen Matthews, Rocky Mountain Brand Manager
A little bit about Mike
Mike was raised in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies of Alberta, where his childhood was highlighted by frequent explorations of the outdoors with friends and family. Upon receiving his Bachelor of Design from the University of Alberta in 2010 he started to look for ways that he could combine his passion for design with his love of the outdoors. This took him out west to the ski town of Whistler in British Columbia, where he pursued an internship with Origin Design + Communication (an ad agency that works exclusively in outdoor sports). From there, through a fortunate combination of hard work and helpful connections, he found the footing he needed to launch his career.
Now over a decade later, like the adaptive Whiskey Jack, he has embraced the glimmer of opportunity wherever it has arisen. This has led him on a journey that took him down to California, back to Canada, and now out east to Pennsylvania. Along the way he has gained valuable expertise in all sorts of settings, ranging from the full-service agency all the way to the dedicated in-house brand designer. He has had the opportunity to work with clients, both large and small, in a diverse range of industries. He still has a soft spot for the ‘outdoorsy’ lifestyle sorts of brands, but his experience has shown him a process of collaboration that he has found success with for any type of client.
So what does all that mean for you? It means agency-caliber quality at a fraction of the price. It means access to a friendly and down-to-earth professional who can handle it solo or integrate with your existing team where needed. It means creative solutions to your design or branding needs that are custom to you. Mike takes pride in his work and his goal is your satisfaction. If that sounds good to you please shoot him a message through the contact page. He looks forward to working with you soon!
