Jacob’s mission is to understand the behavioral, cultural and experiential<br />
needs of people as a means to define the fundamental relevance of design.<br />
He believes that much of the success of any design, its ability to be a solution<br />
at all, is buried under a complex and often subconscious understanding of<br />
people, their current needs and their aspirations for the future. For this premise,<br />
he has pursued design, not as a product or an object of self expression, but<br />
as a process of exploration and discovery. Through this process he is able to<br />
embody information and inspiration in each creation - product, service or space<br />
- and enhance human experience and meaning through design. Jacob believes<br />
the partnership of social science, design and business will enable the formation<br />
of our environment to be achieved with the highest degree of wisdom and has<br />
for the past several years worked within NBBJ to develop a group called REV<br />
with this expressed goal. With diverse perspective, strategic capability and<br />
design talent he is able to uncover new and relevant opportunities for design in<br />
response to business needs and their customers’ desires.<br />
