Crafting Timeless Identities


BRINGING STORIES TO LIFE THROUGH DESIGN

My name is Jeff Yas. I build distinctive brand identities that emphasize connection and resonate across time. My expertise in logo design, typography, and color systems merges with my background in anthropology and archaeology, giving me a deep understanding of visual storytelling, image curation, and the ability to effectively communicate global messages through design.

Layered Design Solutions


EXPLORING DEPTH THROUGH DESIGN STRATIGRAPHY

Much like stratigraphy in archaeology, my design process uncovers the hidden layers within a brand’s history, revealing deep, resonant stories. From logo systems to comprehensive visual identities, I ensure each element adds to the brand’s overarching narrative.

Logos with Legacy


DESIGNING SYMBOLS THAT ENDURE TIME

A logo is more than a mark—it’s a cultural artifact. My approach to logo design draws inspiration from archaeological processes, carefully crafting symbols that speak to both the history and future of a brand. Each design is built to last, evolving with your audience.

Typography as Storytelling


CRAFTING READABLE, ACCESSIBLE TYPOGRAPHIC SYSTEMS

Typography is a key element in storytelling. I specialize in developing typographic systems that are not only visually striking but also accessible and inclusive, ensuring that your message reaches everyone while maintaining a cohesive and elegant brand presence.

BUILDING ACCESSIBLE AND IMPACTFUL COLOR PALETTES

Color is a powerful tool for connection. Drawing on principles from both design and anthropology, I create accessible color systems that evoke emotion while meeting accessibility standards. These palettes enhance brand impact without compromising usability or inclusivity.

ELEVATING BRANDS WITH PURPOSEFUL DESIGN LEADERSHIP

As a seasoned Senior Designer and Art Director, I’ve helped brands like Bulgari and Viacom tell their stories through design. With a strategic and holistic approach, I ensure that each design choice supports the bigger picture, aligning brand visuals with business goals.

Bridging Art & History


DESIGN INSPIRED BY ARCHAEOLOGICAL INSIGHTS

My background in archaeology shapes the way I see design challenges. I approach each project as a complex composition, layering historical insights with modern design principles. This unique perspective allows me to construct brand journeys that feel rich and multidimensional.
