“From classical influences to magic realism, Tuttle’s style attracts a range of clients that’s as diverse as his artistic talent.” – Adobe Create

Jared Tuttle graduated from the Minneapolis College of Art & Design with a BFA in Illustration in 2014. Following his formal design education, Tuttle spent time as a tattoo apprentice, exhibiting in galleries and working as a designer for a prominent Twin Cities architecture firm. He has since established himself as an in-demand Minneapolis-based freelance illustrator and designer.

Tuttle's diverse portfolio blends his personal practice, commissions, and client work, reflecting a signature style that translates across a range of applications. His process is informed by the traditional linework technique common in both illustration and tattooing. He adds unique dimensionality with finely tuned details, balanced contrast, and meticulous execution. Tuttle’s fine art aesthetic results in commercial applications that feel high-end, custom, and hand-crafted.

Presently, Tuttle works across the fields of brand identity design, illustration, and packaging while simultaneously producing original artwork for apparel, snowboards/skateboards, pins, and prints.

Outside of designing and art-making, Tuttle enjoys traveling for new cultural experiences, aesthetic inspiration, and adventures in nature.
