Jesse Koreck — Designer & Illustrator

Art & Design

I have blended two worlds for over a decade, crafting intuitive experience as a UX/UI product designer for TextNow, and celebrating Canada's culture and heritage as an artist for the Royal Canadian Mint.

I believe in the power of simplicity to create profound and lasting impressions. Through thoughtful art & design, we can help make sense of a detailed and complicated world. My creative work blends art and information to convey concepts with clarity. I create designs and illustrations to delight, spark curiosity and help make complex ideas easy to understand.

As a designer.

At TextNow, I collaborated closely with product managers, engineers, and stakeholders to define requirements, ensuring alignment with business goals and user needs. I supported Android, iOS, Web, Growth, Monetization, Marketing, Core Messaging & Calling, Trust and Safety, and the Wireless team.

As an artist.

Since 2012, I have collaborated with art directors, engravers and product teams with the Royal Canadian Mint. Together, we have launched numerous minted coins, such as the 2021—$2 'Toonie' circulation coin.

Background

I find inspiration and tranquility in the outdoors, particularly through kayaking. I find joy in sharing the wonders and details of nature through my creative work. I reside in Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario Canada with my wife and two lively kids.

Education.

I have a Bachelor of Applied Arts (B.A.A - Illustration)(Honours) from Sheridan College, with a focus in Technical and Scientific Illustration. (2009)
