Hi, I'm Jason.
I'm a designer, videographer and photographer working in Southeast Michigan. I have a passion for marketing and storytelling, and enjoy combining these for the teams and projects I am a part of. Whether the work I create is still, interactive, or in motion, I bring effective communication and creative, consistent branding to your project.

Before deciding to work independently and start JMW Creative, I worked in Oakland University's Communications and Marketing department as their Digital Strategy Manager. I worked with the digital marketing, publications, and social media teams to create general OU branding, as well as more specific web and video projects to promote the university's departments and academic programs. I've also worked on the marketing team for Grid4 Communications, a telecommunications company, where I helped to re-brand the company, and also for The Detroit News' design team.
