About Jay
My work spans visual effects, filmmaking, and over a decade in educational leadership, including founding and leading an independent outdoor school in Toronto. These experiences form the foundation of this site, bringing together creative, educational, and increasingly analytical lines of work.
Earlier projects reflect a background in communication and education, while more recent work explores analytical inquiry, research-oriented thinking, and the use of data to examine patterns, systems, and complex questions across diverse domains.
