Jason is an award winning Experiential Creative Director, Creative Technologist and XP/Brand Innovation Strategist hybrid who is equally comfortable leaning on any or all of the disciplines.He’ll often be overheard saying things like “it’s hard to call what we do work when it brings you so much joy — designing weird and playful spaces with new ways of storytelling that would even make Borges blush.” He loves crafting, designing and building highly desirable bespoke experiences that get brands excited (and win pitches), from physical brick & mortar to virtual spaces in AR, games, bespoke apps or even that weird little thing called the “metaverse” using AR, TouchDesigner, Three.js, wacky sensors, shaders, generative AI to create all sorts of things.It’s rumored he also makes music using weird crazy modular synthesizers that look like they belong in the space shuttle. He also likes making puzzle games for friends that kinda make their heads go 🤯.
