Hi, I'm Jacob Greif.

I'm a designer who builds things for kids, families, and fun.
Playful and thoughtful. Digital and physical.
Sometimes all of the above.

My background spans tech, games, and education. I've helped teams including Khan Academy, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, and Xbox define visual languages and create playful experiences.

You can find me on Twitter or reach me via email.

Projects

Humdrum (Piloting in classrooms)

A creative digital space for 4th-8th graders to build a writing habit. It's a place where writing feels like play, not pressure.

Big & Important, LLC

In collaboration with Lindsey Greif (wife!), we are creating children's books, writing tools, and other playful stuff.
