Hey, I'm Jason—independent creative, art director & content creator.

At Amazon’s Brand Innovation Lab, I helped Fortune 500 companies like PepsiCo, Coca-cola, Kraft Heinz, & Unilever creatively infiltrate the Amazon empire of brands, while driving gen AI innovation.

Before that I worked at BBDO & Huge, inc. launching brand platforms & campaigns for brands like Mars-Wrigley, Ocean Spray, SC Johnson & Brooks Running.

I run a newsletter, podcast, & website called The Toolbox. I help creatives build careers on their own terms, unleashing all the tools and secrets.

I'm available for select freelance, consulting & speaking opportunities—remote & in NYC.
