Founder and owner of J Studio Design Group LLC, a creative studio focused on design, craftsmanship, and digital art.

After years working in user experience design at Microsoft, I launched my own studio to bring together my passion for design, storytelling, and product creation.

Through J Studio Design Group I operate two brands:

JP Leather & Stitch Co. – A handcrafted leather goods brand specializing in premium wallets and accessories made from full-grain Italian leather, designed for durability and timeless style.

The Artful Edge Gallery – A digital art studio producing modern, minimalist, and abstract printable artwork for interior spaces.

I apply the same design thinking and creative strategy used in enterprise product development to brand building, product design, and marketing. My work spans:

• Brand identity and visual design

• Product design and craftsmanship

• Digital art creation

• Marketing and advertising design

• Photography and video content

• E-commerce and product storytelling

This work allows me to combine digital design expertise with traditional craftsmanship while building meaningful, lasting products.

JP Leather & Stitch Co. is a handcrafted leather goods brand dedicated to timeless design, traditional craftsmanship, and products built to last a lifetime.

Founded in Washington State and part of J Studio Design Group LLC, the company was created from a deep appreciation for the enduring beauty of well-made leather goods. In a world increasingly defined by mass production and disposable products, JP Leather & Stitch Co. focuses on craftsmanship, durability, and thoughtful design.

Each wallet and leather accessory is crafted using premium full-grain leather and built with attention to detail, ensuring that every piece develops character and patina over time.

Our approach combines traditional leatherworking techniques with modern design sensibilities to create products that are both functional and timeless.

JP Leather & Stitch Co. believes that the items we carry every day should be made with care, built with integrity, and designed to last for decades—not just seasons.
