Hello, I’m Jason Krieger
(aka kriegs, silvernome, etc)
I’m a New York based Designer who has been doing web-based work professionally for over 25 years.
Currently you’ll find me at Yieldstreet as the Head of Product Design. Previously, I was at MakerBot Industries (Creative Director UX), EA Games / Mythic Entertainment (Web Design Lead) and GameGround (Design Lead).
Some of my strengths include: Figma / Adobe Creative Suite, Design Systems, Building design teams, Responsive design, Digital Photography, ClickUp (project management), Front End Development (HTML5,CSS3, WordPress).
This site serves as the “net-all” collection of all my creative endeavors.

Side Projects
But design isn’t all I like to do, when I’m not neck deep in Figma, you’ll probably catch me taking photos, painting Warhammer miniatures, gaming online, baking cookies or some other thing I can’t wait to talk your ear off about. I’m also a sucker for side projects, here are just a few I’ve spun up:

Started in August 2011, dsktps is a site that offers a brand new wallpaper every Monday. Each wallpaper comes in a variety of sizes for desktop, mobile and tablet. I developed the site in a responsive, HTML5/CSS3 layout using WordPress as a CMS backend.

Back in 2014, I really started to get into the tabletop game Warhammer 40K with some MakerBot co-workers. We decided to start keeping track of our painting and games with a Tumblr blog a year later under the name Brookhammer. In 2017, with our group growing I wanted to upgrade our online presence with a full feature site.

Launched July 2012, Jason & Erin is a photoblog I’ve started with my girlfriend Erin. We wanted a place to share photos of our life, travels, food we eat/make and more. Just like dsktps, the site was developed using WordPress and features a responsive design.

When joining MakerBot in 2013, a fellow gnome loving co-worker shared with me some of the cute gnome designs he had scanned in and printed. Instantly, I knew I had to do something cool with these! I decided to start printing and hiding them in the city and Acts of Gnome was born. Eventually, I started to give them to friends to take with them on trips too!

Phirebrush (currently offline) was an online art magazine that I founded in 2001. It had come quite the long way in its 10 years of existence. The site launched new releases monthly consisting of user submitted artworks, photography, music and writings along with an interview with up and coming artists. Plans of a resurrection are in the works.
