Principals

Jay Moldave and Lauren Cook lead an award-winning team of designers, artists, writers, technology experts and printers who work together to create solutions for your business

MoldaveDesigns was founded by Jay Moldave in 1980. After stints at PSE&G (as their first art director) and a variety of agencies, Jay went out on his own, and hasn’t looked back. He’s worked with numerous companies, large and small, local and global since then, and some have been with MoldaveDesigns since the beginning.

Graphic design is in his blood, and DNA, apparently, since both of his children are also designers. When Jay has a day off (or even an hour) he can be found playing blues guitar, working in the garden or cooking gourmet meals (not necessarily at the same time.)

Jay is also an Adjunct Professor of Graphic Design at Union County College.

Lauren Cook is responsible for account services, marketing, and new business development as well generating spontaneous creative ideas. She’s not afraid to say “Let’s try it!” Nor is she afraid to say “No.” She’s great at making you understand the process, timeframe and cost of achieving your marketing goals. Music is her passion and she sings in several bands.
