Jason began making art at seventeen, teaching himself to create freely as his interests in photography, filmmaking, and writing took shape.

​​

He is a graduate of New York University’s prestigious Film & TV and Journalism programs, where he received the NYU Founders Day Award for academic and artistic excellence. He is currently enrolled in Sogang University’s School of Business, pursuing a master’s in Marketing. While at NYU, he gained recognition when his CHANEL‑sponsored editorial film was featured on RED Digital Cinema’s website and in NYU News.

​

As a content creator, Jason’s work spans editorial writing for Time+Tide Watches and SJX Watches; commercially successful videos for brands including Blancpain and CHANEL; and the production and cinematography of a $50,000 narrative thesis film at NYU. A Scholastic Art & Writing Awards Silver Key recipient, he has exhibited and sold photographs in noted galleries, with features in both print and online publications.

​

Jason’s thesis film, Delusion (2019), earned multiple international awards and screened in art theaters as well as on major television channels in South Korea. His intermediate experimental film at NYU, Santa Maria (2019), was officially selected by the American Film Institute, further cementing his reputation as a skilled filmmaker.

​

Beyond his creative work, Jason is an independent watch enthusiast with no formal affiliations to the luxury brands he covers professionally. He explores both vintage and modern timepieces—an interest that began more than a decade ago with his first luxury watch, a rose‑gold Baume & Mercier Classima.

​

He shares his life with two beloved cats, Winston and Oak, and is the grandson of Dong Kyu Kim, who served as CEO of Daewoo Architecture and as South Korea’s Minister of Foreign Affairs.
