Copywriter & Wordsmith
Know your premise, own your story. Jordan is a storyteller first, writer second, and he specializes in messaging that makes sense (whatever that means), Jordan's expertise starts with user-friendly ad and marketing copy, extends to compelling video scripts, dabbles in short stories that delight and inspire, touches on novel writing, and does a final bow with screenwriting (because it was his first passion and — honestly — why the hell not?).

Certified Creative Wizard ™
Graphic designer, web designer, digital illustrator, stop-motion animator, Powerpoint ninja, creative consultant, and expert list crafter — Jordan is a one-stop-shop for creative design. Although Jordan is a creative storyteller first, he’s also very technically-minded (he can troubleshoot a WordPress site with the best of them) as well as being highly organized (don’t ask him about his Trello boards unless you have a few hours).
Video so hot, it comes with its own fans.
From big corporate tradeshow “wow” moments to compelling vignettes that tug at the heartstrings, Jordan is a painter of moving pictures and his canvas is Final Cut Pro. Whether it’s material he’s shot himself or (more often than not) it’s footage from someone else, Jordan has the proven expertise to make the final edit shine like a masterpiece.

Working at the speed of creativity.
With a passion for technology that (nearly) rivals his love for the creative process, Jordan places a high value on software and tools that help him work at the “speed of creativity”. It’s a place where technology gets out of your way, allowing you to craft, shape, and iterate as quickly as you can imagine.
Jordan’s tools of choice start with Final Cut Pro. Having used this software exclusively for 10+ years, Jordan has amassed a skillset (and plugin library!) of magnificent proportions. Speaking specifically to the “speed of creativity” is how FCP eschews track-based editing for an open canvas approach. Lift your clips from the magnetic timeline and you’re free to move them about wherever you need!
Whether it’s webcomics, dinosaurs, or conceptual mockups, Jordan prefers an iPad Pro, Apple Pencil 2, and a robust illustration app called Procreate. Jordan takes a graphic-design approach to his art, often creating mockups in Affinity Photo before transferring to Procreate to create line art. For vector (and the rest of his graphic design portfolio) Affinity Designer is invaluable.
When it comes to web design, Jordan is adaptable to almost any CMS thrown at him, Although he’s (reluctantly) happy to wrestle a WordPress site into submission, nothing quite embodies working “at the speed of creativity” quite like Squarespace.
Finally, keeping everything organized is critical when prioritizing and making space for creative — both personally and professionally. For project management and general organization, Jordan still hasn’t found a more user-friendly solution than Trello . . . and he definitely has a thought or two about how to use it.
