Jackson views design as a dramaturgical endeavor.

They believe every choice matters, and that every link in the chain—from content design to systems engineering—should contribute to storytelling. They implement design work using tools like disguise, RenderStream, WATCHOUT, TouchDesigner, Resolume, QLab, ETC Eos, After Effects, Unreal Engine and Vectorworks—but storytelling always comes first. Jackson also knows his way around a broadcast control room.
