My background spans concept design, motion, photography, videography, sound and digital systems. Early experience within the film industry ecosystem involved visual development, pitch materials and design systems for film projects, working closely with directors and concept teams under tight deadlines. That foundation continues to inform how I work - I thrive on visual storytelling, and translate ideas into structured creative output that resonates.

“I have worked with Jake on two projects (Halo, District 9). In both cases his involvement was invaluable. Despite tight deadlines, he produced world-class work that inspired the same amazed reaction from everyone.”
