I’m Jameson, a designer, photographer and entrepreneur based in Santa Cruz. I grew up in San Rafael, in the Bay Area, and I’m now a senior at UC Santa Cruz studying Environmental Studies with a focus on GIS.

I’m building a career in media of all sorts. That means design, photography, websites and print, and I’m always eager to learn more.

I’m fluent in Adobe Creative Cloud and use it every day. In Photoshop I retouch and composite photos and animate frame by frame; the rotoscoped dog walk in my Design work was drawn and timed there. In Lightroom I edit and grade my photographs, from color correction to the black and white work. I know these tools well enough to move fast, and I keep learning new ones.

I do design and social media for The Dirtbag’s Rag, an independent print magazine, and I helped design its website. Issue 01 runs ninety pages across motorcycles, climbing, food and music.

Most of my photographs are made outdoors: in the mountains, on the coast and in the forest. You can see them in the Photography section.

I’m open to roles in GIS, environmental communications and outdoor programs, and to creative projects of any size. If you have something in mind, get in touch.
