Brand Manager
Jesse is a creative account executive. Yes, the two can co-exist. He strategizes with clients to understand their needs, and then strategizes with our design team for ways to respond to those needs. When Jesse’s involved, work and fun go hand-in-hand. While he’s serious about getting the job done—he lends a quirky and creative energy to it. He’s as organized and dedicated to the task at hand as he is forward-thinking and clever. One of Jesse’s favorite hobbies is board games. He’ll play for hours on the weekend, challenging his brain just for the fun of it.
