Rain City Relief
A group of community leaders came together in 2021 to raise funds for Seattle musicians affected by the pandemic. We partnered with non-profit, Seattle World Tour, The Reef and other Pacific Northwest organizations (including Pearl Jam’s Vitalogy Foundation).
A year to the day music venues shut down we recorded 10 artists, filmed the process and put out a vinyl compilation to benefit. A sold out record release party was held in February 2022 at Easy St. Records – rallying the community to raise major funds in a short amount of time.

The Reef Stores
Working closely with ownership during the summer of 2018, I helped launch the Reef Stores in Seattle. The brand quickly became a top cannabis retailer in a thriving, highly competitive market.
Giving back to the community organizations, developing innovative experiential events and partnering with renowned brands like Seattle International Film Festival set our company apart from the rest of the competitors in town.

Jesse is an all-star designer & overall human. He is able to incorporate "big picture" thinking while executing on a variety of creative, design-oriented tasks. I feel fortunate to have worked with Jesse on cross-company projects.”
