About

Jamie is an award-winning comedy director and writer based in New York and Los Angeles. He was raised in Miami, Florida by his Chinese grandfather, whom he credits for his dry sense of humor and love of salad bars.

While attending the University of Virginia’s business school, he realized that his favorite concentration was the one that required the most work and paid the least: advertising. 

After attending The Creative Circus in Atlanta, he started his career in the creative department of BBDO New York, writing and art directing commercials for AT&T, Gillette, Pepsi, and an M&Ms Superbowl commercial. 

He has earned over 100 million views and a silver Cannes Lion for his branded short films for Helloflo, and two Clios for his Deadpool 2 promos. Since moving to LA, he's developed scripted comedies with ABC Digital, Youtube Red, and Crackle. 

Named one of Adweek's top 100 creatives, Jamie directs commercials and writes short films and TV pilots, crafting comedy and heart into stories worth sharing. He’s currently working on his first feature film Virtuosa.
