I like collecting buttons.
Hi I’m Jesse,
an art director and designer based in Los Angeles, originally from Texas with roots in New Zealand. I spent the last few years at Razorfish, where I worked across campaigns for Texas Children’s Hospital, leading creative for print, social, and OOH. One of those campaigns ended up being their top-performing paid social effort to date, which was a nice win.
Outside of healthcare, I’ve worked on creative for Blumhouse, Amazon Prime, Hulu, T-Mobile, Whole Foods, and Wellington Management. I’ve designed pitch decks, one-sheeters, programmatic banners, photo books for touring bands—you name it. I’ve also been lucky to collaborate on AFI sets and a few indie productions around LA, usually jumping in on design, visual direction, or helping make the weird stuff look good.
Lately, I’ve been taking a portrait painting class at OTIS and finding ways to stay sharp with personal projects between client work. I travel to New Zealand as often as I can, and I’m currently open to freelance and full-time opportunities in LA, New York, or Austin.
I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a BFA in Design and a BS in Radio-Television-Film.
