Now
I’m Jesse Lefkowitz, an art director, designer and illustrator at Google since 2014. My work takes a systematized approach to expressive branding and storytelling. I lead a small team of designers working on the YouTube Doodle and YouTube brand standards.Then
After earning a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2005, I worked as a freelancer, primarily in the editorial space. Clients included The New York Times, Rolling Stone, The New Yorker, Fortune, ESPN, Air France, Monocle, NBC, WIRED and Airbnb.Recognition
