Hi. I’m Jake // an artist, creative director, and lifelong builder of worlds, driven by the pursuit of the perfect vibe. From backyard punk shows as a kid to crafting large-scale events and intimate brand experiences over the past 17 years, I’ve always had a knack for bringing people together through art, music, and connection.
My work is rooted in a fascination with how immersive experiences can inspire and unite communities.
At Rad Animal, I bridge art and strategy by designing stories, visuals, and environments that turn creative vision into human moments worth remembering.
In 2017, I founded Rad Animal, a creative studio born from the belief that authentic storytelling and immersive experiences can transform a brand’s connection with its audience.
As the founder and creative director, I’ve worn many hats – from directing music videos and commercials to orchestrating multi-sensory festival activations.
This hybrid role as both creative leader and hands-on creative has shaped me into a versatile creator who’s just as comfortable pitching C-suite executives as I am brainstorming with artists on a studio floor.
What drives me is crafting moments of genuine connection. Whether I’m developing a partnership for a brand or filming a commercial, I aim to create experiences that resonate on a human level. I believe in collaboration, innovation, and a bit of wild imagination (hence the name ‘Rad Animal’) to push creative boundaries while keeping things fun and authentic.
My work has led to all sorts of achievements and media coverage, but what I’m proudest of is the impact; seeing a crowd light up at an event I produced, or a campaign ignite a conversation online.
Today, I’m focused on bridging the worlds of music, art, and tech through creative leadership. I’m available for consulting, directing projects, or stepping into a creative leadership role with a team that’s ready to make something amazing. If that sounds like what you need, let’s talk!
