A fervent lover of all things creative, Jaye packed her bags for NYC to study design and advertising. Not entirely in love with her portfolio, she quit her design job and joined The Circus. The Creative Circus, that is. Since then, Jaye has worked as a strategic and conceptual copywriter, creative director, and consultant for brands and agencies including: TBWA\Chiat\Day, BBDO, Designit, Coca-Cola, Amex and AT&T—winning some nice industry awards along the way. Whether working on her own concepts, running a group, or teaching, she’s always about The Big Idea and never forgets the importance of staying interested in what’s interesting.

As a teacher, she “demands like a boss, nurtures like a mother. She’s funny and easygoing, but rock solid when it’s showtime. I can’t say enough about her.” (David S.)

When not knocking out campaigns, you’ll find her setting out for views she has to earn, such as hiking up Mt. Whitney and down the Grand Canyon, or taking a deep dive into the latest film or design inspiration she’s decided to feast upon.
