HISTORY

  

JAK Creative and Events is Melbourne’s specialist event design agency, bringing to life creative and innovative events for the past 21 years.

 

Founded by Jane Klose and Kerryn Howell, the dynamic creative duo met in 1994 at RMIT in Melbourne when they enrolled to study Visual Merchandising.  

A mutual love of the beautiful things in life saw them collaborate on university projects as well as winning freelance projects. Before long they were friends, housemates and soon to be business partners. 

 

In 2000 Kerryn and Jane officially launched Theme from JAK, bringing curated event design to Melbourne. They were one of the first agencies of its kind to use specialist visual merchandising and graphic design skills to design events, from the representation of the brand through to the intricate designs to create magic.

 

In 2013, Theme from JAK were awarded ISES Event Supplier of the Year, recognising their commitment to exceptional event design and customer service to their clients. In 2015, it was time for change. 
Theme from JAK was ready to evolve which saw the launch of 

JAK Creative and Events. 

 

Since the beginning, JAK has been known for really listening to their clients to bring event spaces to life, while delivery each event in a professional, stress-free environment. The rare dynamic and natural collaborative approach to life and career paved the way for creating a successful business

that is still thriving today.

 

Except now they are cooler, more savvy and have expanded their team to add more talent, awesomeness and value.
