Seb Jarquin - Designer

I design with a focus on clarity and efficiency, aiming to communicate ideas and solve problems without unnecessary complexity. My work is guided by purpose and grounded in context, whether that’s responding to a business need or contributing something meaningful beyond it. I strive to create work that is intuitive and self-explanatory, taking into account how people perceive, understand, and use what’s in front of them. I believe design should feel human and delightful. Careful craft and attention to detail help keep experiences pleasant and engaging while preserving utility.

About

I studied visual communication and design at Pratt Institute and started out in branding and art direction before joining Loeb.nyc’s incubator as a product designer. There, I worked closely with early-stage teams, helping take products from 0 to 1 and learning how to think in systems across brand and product. I later co-founded Troop, a civic tech startup focused on shareholder activism, where I became the founding designer and CPO. Today, I work independently through my studio, The Other Design Office, working end to end on product development and cross-disciplinary design projects with organizations such as the OECD and the Nansen Center for Peace and Dialogue. I speak three languages, love the outdoors, and draw a lot in my spare time. I’m currently based in Paris.
