Biography ︎
Jackson is a Multi-disciplinary Designer, Concept Director, and Producer. His interests lie in the hidden truths that can be revealed through the investigation of human ecologies. Utilizing design thinking and grounded research, he informs his decisions in a derivative language of design.
Jackson Kerbs Is a multi-disciplinary designer working in experimental product design and experience. His interests lie in the hidden truths that can be revealed through technology, culture, and translation of data through our ecosystem.He answers questions any way they need to be answered — physically, technologically, digitally, or (usually) a combination. His research frames questions in the systems around them, which fill space until the solutions are presented. If a new skill is required, it is acquired without hesitation.
With the rise of available digital tools, the gaps between product design and desired experiences are closing in on another as the tool becomes as important as the desired outcome. Experience-based, culturally-sustainable design expresses itself as a product with multiple touch-points: the site, the interaction, the history, and the visitor’s perspective
Respecting the saturation of human experience.
