All About Jake Rocheleau
I am a 21 year-old designer, developer, and writer. I like to build apps and tutorials. I also enjoy writing. Strangely I don’t read much aside from news and articles online, but I really enjoy writing. I love to study new vocabulary and the English language is quite inspirational.
I was working freelance web design for almost 4 years during high school. I have also been creating my own personal projects for roughly 6 years. Recently I have moved into working on my own startup ideas. I would love to get into web video, mobile video, and general Internet media/entertainment.
I’m very well-versed with Internet marketing. I love to build brands and ideas. Domains, draft concepts, business plans, financial estimates, SEO strategy, product development. I’m real big into startups based on digital products and even bigger into digital branding.
Along with freelance writing work and my own projects I also love to write wild creative ideas in my spare time. I use this website to share my personal articles along with case studies on recent project work and startup trends. I also like to post about screenwriting, television production, streaming Internet TV, and this new exciting age of media communications. Comedy is one thing which truly connects us regardless of language barriers.
