Jacob
I’m a Artist & Entrepreneur blending imagery, history, aesthetic, product design, and prompting to build special projects. My work inspired fooji’s pivot to a million-dollar ad model. I design everything from signed music artists websites to software front-end for healthcare. New projects include ammocat3000, jacobhalestudio.net, haven.engineer, lisa mona, & c-d art gallery

background
- early beginnings: i discovered Vine on day one in high school, grew a following with stop-motion animations, and learned the power of organic communities.
- social-hacking: I joined a start-up fooji as the third member, originally focused on ordering food via Twitter emojis. Through a successful activation of a concert ticket giveaway on my One Direction fan account, I inspired their pivot to an activations based business model.
- indiana university: Studied advertising, where Michael Uslan (producer of The Dark Knight) taught me about Hollywood’s cash outs of a billion-dollars a movie in China’s market, where ghosts (+ the living dead) are censored and can’t be portrayed.
- Since then, I’ve navigated Los Angeles’ music scene and New York’s art world, collaborating with notable figures such as Anthony Haden-Guest. I’ve traveled for photoshoots, including for UK’s The Times, and created AI music artists like Lisa Mona, with tracks available on Spotify, and real artists early like Kevin George. I’m self-taught in music production, and one of my tracks, produced late at night in my car, was featured in Music Garden’s sound.xyz blog. My work was also showcased at Fred Segal’s West Hollywood NFT exhibition by Karsen Daily, as one of 27 selected artists.
current focus
- building be-loved.app to modernize non-emergency medical transportation.
