About
So what about this Jordan fellow?
Narrator: Faster than a speeding deadline. More creative than an outside ad agency. Able to leap tall creative briefs in a single bound.
Person 1: Look! Up in the sky! It’s a bird!
Person 2: It’s a plane!
Person 1: It’s Super Designer!*
Narrator: Yes, it’s Super Designer! Strange visitor from another agency. Possessing project managing powers and design abilities far beyond those of mortal designers. Super Designer, who can change the course of mighty e-mails, bend landing pages, create animated banners, and design a multitude of print pieces in his bare hands.
Winner of various accolades, including a President’s Plate, Patback Bonus, I.HA.F. (In-House Agency Forum) Silver and Honorable Mention awards. And who, disguised as Jordan Razowsky, mild-mannered Graphic Designer, fights a never ending battle for truth, justice and the design way.

Testimonials
Jordan is a pleasure to work with. He is extremely detail-oriented and the guy you want in your corner when a deadline is looming. Jordan is a very accomplished designer who is also current with the digital age. He has his eye on the future of graphic design and will be a leader, not a follower.
– Stephanie (Beasley) Mueller Senior Graphic Designer
Jordan is an extremely talented graphic designer. He supported my team at Discover and always delivered our projects with both speed and a great deal of attention to details. Jordan is a business partner that makes work easier, which is the way it should be, but so often is not.
– Lauren Mieli Digital Marketer | Social Influencer
Jordan brought a distinctive creative element to every project he touched. He handled layout, illustration and production with professionalism and efficiency on a wide variety of assignments for just about every client at our growing ad agency. But what particularly impressed me was his musical brilliance, and the many ways he plussed a presentation, multimedia show, radio spot or soundtrack with his creativity and wizardry. My work was always better for having associated with Jordan.
– John Rausch Creative Guru | Sandstorm Design
Jordan makes my copy look great, makes the process of client approvals smooth, translates the creative brief details into something that's right on target. When I've worked with him there were fewer revisions, clients loved his pieces and photos/graphics he chose, there were no production fiascos, and he worked truly collaboratively with the team. He's a consummate professional. No drama. No prima donna attitude. Just a great work ethic, a solid talent and someone you can always count on to come through no matter what.
– Nancy Wells Sr. Copywriter: Digital, Print and Social Marketing
I highly recommend Jordan. He is ultra thorough. He will always make sure he understands the goals of the project, then he goes above and beyond to cover all the bases.
– Cheryl O'Day CPM, Strategic sourcing | G360
Ridiculously efficient, rock solid in the most critical of moments, and all around nice guy" are phrases that come to mind when I think about Jordan. We worked closely together for 2 years. I was particularly impressed by Jordan's ability to handle even the toughest design and production projects—effortlessly. From digital to print, his skills and experience were a key factor on all of our initiatives and it's no wonder he was designated as the most productive member of our team.
– Michael Pantuso Art Director | Discover Financial Services
Jordan is such a pleasure to work with! He is a talented graphic designer who is very detail-oriented and efficient. Jordan is always helpful and works very well with other team members. I would highly recommend him!
– Deb Hendricks Giant Geek Communications
I have had the pleasure of working with Jordan since 2018. From day one, we considered ourselves incredibly lucky to snag a designer of his caliber who was willing to take a chance on a non-profit organization. Jordan is a talented creative professional who works quickly and efficiently on projects and is always open to feedback. He has put a lot of process in place to make collaborative, cross-team work move more smoothly and brought a level of professionalism and consistency to our assets that simply did not exist before he joined our team. Jordan is a collegial and trustworthy colleague, and a genuinely funny and kind person.
