About Jesse Chehak
With over 19 years of experience, I am a passionate and versatile visual artist who specializes in photography, filmmaking, content production, and graphic design. I am a big thinker and have led creative teams and worked with renowned clients such as Ogilvy & Mather, Saatchi & Saatchi, The New York Times Company, Nike, and American Express, creating impactful images and videos for various media and platforms. I passionate about content development, building creative briefs, and strategic problem-solving. I have also exhibited my projects and distributed print editions for collections and museums. In addition to my art practice, I am an innovation-focused educator who teaches visual arts foundations at The Prairie School. Previously, I was at Latin School of Chicago and Harvard-Westlake School, where I was certified in AP Studio Art: 2D-Design, and co-directed the Westflix CA Student Film Festival. I also served as the art advisor and designer of the Stone-Cutters Art and Literary Journal, and the program lead of the HWGo: Visual Storytelling Adventures, an international student travel program. I love to share my experience with new generations of creative minds, and to inspire them to pursue growth in their artistic ambitions and goals.
