Award-winning visual storyteller based in San Francisco.

Hi, I’m Jacob, but friends call me J or Skaggs. Based on the needs of the project I’ve been called a director, producer, creative director, photographer, editor, whatever-er. No matter the title my projects are driven by impassioned storytelling and an inveterate love for the underdog.

I’m proudly based in San Francisco but still keep a cowboy hat saved from my Texas upbringing. Outside of work I play guitar in a rock band and ride my skateboard every few days or so.

Clients: Cisco, Salesforce, Meta, F5, Proofpoint, Niantic, First Tube Media, Williams-Sonoma, Coinbase, ServiceNow, TPG, lots of local bands.

Press: California Music Video Awards Best Director, Worldfest Houston Best Music Video, Columbus International Film Festival Best Music Video, Rookie Mag, The Wild Honey Pie, The Bay Bridged, Paste, Night of Shorts, The Deli, Wyoming International Film Festival.

Education: Northwestern (Film).

Sound good? Let’s shoot:
