About

Jay Neilson is a 3D environment artist living in Brooklyn, New York, with a background in motion design, photography, and video production. Born and raised in Seattle, WA, Jay started his career learning video production from a bootstrapped team surrounding hometown heroes Macklemore and Ryan Lewis. While completing his Bachelor's Degree in Media Studies at Emory University in Atlanta, GA, he followed his passion at the intersection of music and visual art by developing his own photography business, capturing iconic moments for artists such as Lil Yachty, Solange Knowles, and Miguel.

He has since shot over 40,000 images, advanced branding for the streetwear company Wisdom, and unified marketing for 5 businesses. After gaining experience in motion design at a graphic design studio, CMYK+WHITE, Jay decided to shift his focus to 3D environment design, where he is currently honing his skills in creating immersive digital worlds.

In his free time, you’ll find Jay experimenting in Houdini, devouring an audiobook fantasy series, or flying a Cessna 172 Skyhawk.
