EAST
Design & Development / Baltimore, MD

Jacob EastDesign & AI Studio.

I’m a professional designer and AI consultant based in Baltimore. I build websites, brands, and AI systems for local businesses and creators, and I ship them.

Websites, branding, and marketing to match, designed and built under one roof.

Websites

WordPress and modern web apps, designed, built, and kept fast, backed up, and up to date.

Brand & Design

Logos, layouts, and full looks for businesses that need to stand out on their own street.

AI Consulting

Practical AI systems for small teams: agents, automations, and private setups that do real work.

Care Plans

Ongoing updates, backups, speed checks, and fixes, so a site stays an asset instead of a chore.

About

Jacob East is a designer, developer, and AI consultant in Baltimore. His work sits where design meets systems: a neighborhood gym’s website, a city guide that publishes every day, a trivia game running in bars, and AI setups that let small teams punch above their weight. One person, one studio, work that goes live.

How I Work

Start with the real thing, not a mockup that dies in a folder. Ship a live version, test it on a phone, fix what the phone shows, and keep it maintained after launch. Flat, clear pricing. No mystery bills.
