Hi! I’m Jaclyn Merk
Founder & Creative Director
For over a decade, I’ve been a creative leader for DTC brands like Mack Weldon, Brooklinen, FIGS, and Coop Sleep Goods, work that taught me to pair hands-on design with strategic brand thinking.
I started J. Merk Studio to offer the kind of creative partnership I valued most in-house: collaborative, intentional, and fully integrated.
Offline, you can find me traveling, moodboarding with a side of natural wine and fries, walking my dog Cooper, building playlists for workouts and photoshoots, or spending time with family in San Diego.

Jaclyn is one of the most thoughtful and inspiring creative leaders I’ve had the chance to work with. She brought a clear vision and raised the creative bar across the board — helping us drive meaningful improvements in performance through stronger brand storytelling and execution.
Beyond her talent, she’s a phenomenal teammate who brings positivity, collaboration, and a sharp strategic lens to every project.
