Hi, I’m Jared.

Creativity and technology have always been the two halves of who I am. Art was a huge part of my life since I was a kid, but everything changed when my dad introduced me to our family computer. It was the original Macintosh, the very first mass produced home Mac. Bringing my drawings onto that screen sparked a lifelong obsession with the digital world, and I fell in love with the challenge and puzzle of figuring out how art and technology could work together.

​

What started as a childhood hobby eventually became my career path. Near the end of high school, I decided to see where my passion could take me. I studied Art Fundamentals in college to ground my skills, which led me into a Digital Media Arts program. That opened up a whole new world, showing me how to apply my creativity across audio, video, illustration, web design, and graphic design.

​

Because of that background, I bring a unique mix to the table. I have a strong artistic side, but it is always backed by sharp analytical thinking. I am a natural problem solver, and I thrive most when I can break big, complex ideas down into clear, practical steps.

Beyond the Screen

My story started in a unique way. I was born in California and raised in Hong Kong for the first nine years of my life, which taught me how to adapt quickly and connect with people from all walks of life. When I am away from my desk, you can usually find me outdoors. I love being in nature and have a huge soft spot for animals, which is where I go to recharge and find fresh inspiration.
