Jason Unger

Founder

Junger built his first website in 1996, in his parents’ basement, on GeoCities.

When he went to college – attending Boston University in the fall of 2001 – there wasn’t a “website builder” track, so he graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Broadcast Journalism (COM ’05).

With an understanding of mass communication, how to ask the right questions, and online storytelling, he worked at Framingham, MA-based EH Publishing, quickly becoming their resident expert on website publishing for consumer and trade publications.

When the opportunity arose to provide website management services to a popular blogger and startup CEO, he turned one client into a business model that developed into Digital Ink.

He lives in Silver Spring, MD with his wife Debbie, children Nili and Asher, and Teddy, their dog.

Dan Jacobs

Lead Designer

Dan started out in IT, building computers and providing tech support to employees at various corporations. After a year of asking people to try, “turning it off and on again,” Dan volunteered to build the company website and immediately found his calling in life; design.

Almost 20 years later, Dan still loves what he does; building compelling, accessible, and engaging experiences. Dan has worked with clients such as Coke, Nike, Hershey’s, IHG, and more, launched a non-profit, built two video games, worked with startups and boutique shops, and ran his own agency for almost three years.

In the rare event that Dan is not heads down on a passion project, you’ll likely find him in the outdoors of CO with his wife, Mary, and his pup, Crew (she’s a good girl), or playing video games if he’s met his monthly quota for sunlight.
