About Me (Jess, obviously)
I’m a a Curaçao-born, South Florida-raised (I’m not crazy, I swear!), Los Angeles-based Capricorn with an insatiable passion and drive to create, so it’s hard to find just one title that fits when asked to describe what I do.
Here’s a few titles that apply: creative director, producer, writer, graphic designer (print, web, literally…whatever you need), video editor, stand-up comedian/host, and a pianist/songwriter.
See what I mean? Anyway, pick your poison, ‘cause I can do a lot of things (independently & collaboratively — though I do prefer collaboration/to not have to wear all hats at once, I WILLLLL if I MUSTTTTT). Basically, just call me if you have a cool idea and want to get sh*t done; I’m ready.
Video Production
Jess has extensive experience in every corner of video production. Whether it’s crafting compelling stories as a writer, capturing the perfect shot as a producer, or fine-tuning the final cut as an editor, she knows how to bring a vision to life.
