Hey, how’s it going? I’m Jesse. I’m a graphic designer, art director, and creative director that really loves to develop artful solutions with strategy, direction and design. As an independent creative, I usually collaborate with clients in film, music, art, culture, and technology. I love to experiment and push boundaries, to craft work that is both impactful and meaningful.
In 2015, I started Treatments Are Forever — a studio that works with directors and producers at film production companies on commercial, feature film, television, and music video projects. In 2023, we launched a new website and released a pack of original treatment templates. I also started to share these templates, our client work, and treatment resources on Instagram.
In 2022, I founded NORKWWD (pronounced NORK-WOOD) with my wife, Jennifer. After the birth of our son, we were both looking to explore more personal projects and find a better balance between our work and our life. Together we are ½ design studio and ½ book publisher, creating for our friends and ourselves. Our first published photo book with LA Photographer Jett Lara will be ready for pre-order early 2024.
I am always on the lookout for new opportunities to collaborate, so please get in touch.
