Hi, I’m Jake. I make things for brands. Or just for my own amusement. Over the years I’ve written rap songs, hacked into doorbell cameras, put myself through opioid withdrawal, and invented a place called ‘Sucktown’. I’ve convinced insurance companies to commit felonies, luxury car makers to quit car porn, and grown men to act like prehistoric beasts. My work can be seen on the front page of Reddit, and forgotten back alleys of the internet; earning Vimeo Staff Picks, and illusive ‘likes’ from my old man; but I’m usually happiest with the stuff that exists out in the wild. I have a tendency to lose myself in the projects I take on, and win international acclaim for the companies who hire me. Insatiably curious to a fault, I’d love nothing more than a peek at that brief in your hand:
