I’m the Ideation Architect—a graphic designer passionate about turning bold ideas into intentional, immersive design.
With a focus on live events and visual storytelling, I specialize in crafting visuals that don’t just look good—they feel right. From concept to execution, my work blends strategy with artistry to shape brand moments, transform complex ideas, and create experiences that resonate.
Rooted in design thinking and fueled by collaboration, I bring depth, clarity, and a sense of wonder to every project. Whether designing for stage screens, shaping visual identities, or building branded environments, I aim to elevate every story I touch.
Let’s imagine more—and bring your vision to life.
FOUNDER
Jaeda Thomas
Hi, I’m Jaeda! A proud Jersey girl with a passion for great food, animation, and all things creative. My love for design runs deep—it’s where my imagination meets purpose, allowing me to craft visuals that leave a lasting impact.
Currently, I’m a graphic designer specializing in live events at Forbes, where I bring stories to life through bold and immersive design. I’m also the founder of Ideation Architect, a design studio born from my passion for innovation and the belief that great ideas deserve exceptional execution.
I hold a BFA in Art from Howard University (forever proud of my HBCU roots!) and an M.A. in Design Management from SCAD, where I refined my skills and developed a knack for turning ideas into experiences. Inspiration finds me everywhere—whether it’s the vibrant world around me or the emotions I’m channeling in the moment.
My work is a reflection of my passion and curiosity, blending creativity with intention. Welcome to a little glimpse of my creative world!
