Jason began making art at the age of seventeen. As he experimented with his imagination and conceptual ideas, his love of photography, filmmaking, and writing blossomed as he taught himself how to create freely.

Jason is a graduate of the prestigious Film & TV and Journalism program at New York University. He gained recognition for being featured on the RED website and NYU News for shooting an editorial film sponsored by CHANEL during his time as a student.

Jason brings a diverse and accomplished background as a Content Creator. His experience spans writing editorials for SJX Watches, producing commercially successful videos for prestigious brands such as Blancpain and Chanel, and producing and shooting a $50,000 narrative thesis film at NYU for a highly talented director. A recipient of the Silver Key at the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards in high school, Jason has exhibited and sold his photographs in renowned art galleries, earning recognition in both print and online publications.

Jason's thesis film, Delusion (2019), has garnered international acclaim, winning multiple awards and being featured in art theatres and top-tier television channels in South Korea. His intermediate experimental film at NYU, Santa Maria (2019), achieved official selection by the American Film Institute, further cementing his reputation as a skilled filmmaker.

​​

In addition to his creative achievements, Jason graduated from NYU with distinction, earning The Founders' Day Award in recognition of his exemplary academic and artistic excellence. Beyond his professional pursuits, Jason enjoys spending time with his two beloved cats, Winston and Oak. He is also the grandson of Dong Kyu Kim, a former CEO of Daewoo Architecture and a Minister of Foreign Affairs in South Korea’s government.

Jason is currently employed as a luxury watch journalist at SJX Watches. Despite his demanding schedule, he consistently finds time to engage in discussions about and explore both vintage and modern timepieces. As an independent enthusiast, Jason has no formal affiliations with the luxury watch brands he interacts with professionally. His passion for horology began over a decade ago with the purchase of his first luxury watch, a Baume & Mercier Classima in Rose Gold, and has grown steadily ever since.
