JVE Agency
JVE Agency pays homage to my late father who passed in 2015. JVE were the initials he used throughout his career as a draftsman. He worked for a firm that specialized in structural engineering, excavation, and shoring. The colors in the logo represent his time serving our country in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War era.
My father set the greatest example for our family. In the U.S. Army my father served on the detail for Military Funeral Honors for soldiers killed in action. During his college years he helped organize Latino students and served as a student advisor recruiting and assisting lower income Latino students to campus, enabling many low income high school graduates to enroll in college. In addition to being a great father, he always found ways to support the community, from helping to fund uniforms for our youth baseball league to providing internships to students throughout his career.
At JVE, we specialize in direct mail, digital strategy, and advocacy. Our mission is to help our communities thrive, provide opportunity to the underrepresented, and be your advocate.
