Outside of Work

Outside of work I love to travel, workout and dive deep into human psychology and personal development.

Above is a picture of my brother and I (who also happens to be a product designer) enjoying some fresh fruit juice in the Caribbean islands.

Cheers to great design!

Hi, I'm Jake Wahmann

I'm a passionate Product Designer based in Peoria, IL.

With a background in sales, I bring excellent communication and collaboration skills to any design team. Unlike most designers, my passion for product design didn't come from my love of art or my innate creative abilities.

As a former sales rep, I became frustrated with the lack of focus on customer satisfaction during the sales cycle.

And with my 3+ years of sales experience, I began to see how the companies that prioritize customer satisfaction before and after the sale (user experience) are the ones that win long term.

Customers, now more than ever, are buying based on referrals, recommendations, and reviews.

And if your product or service isn't giving your customers an exceptional experience they’re going to take their money elsewhere and actively hurt your business with negative referrals. Bottom line: Build a great product. And speaking of building great products...

I'm ready for a new chapter in my career.

Instead of selling products, I want to design them. But I don't want to design just any old product. I want to design digital products that are SO GOOD they sell themselves. And as I begin my design career, I'm excited to be a part of a team that that lives and breathes user experience like I do.

Let’s make your product legendary together.
