Art & Life with Jazmine Nash

Today we’d like to introduce you to Jazmine Nash.

Jazmine, please kick things off for us by telling us about yourself and your journey so far.
I’m a creative director/producer and brand manager based in Los Angeles and Phoenix. I’m originally from San Diego and currently serve markets LA, Phoenix, & San Diego. I began my career in finance when I was 19, but always had a strong interest in the entertainment industry so I moved to Atlanta, Georgia in 2008 from San Diego. After developing relationships with different moguls in the music and fashion industry, I always knew working in corporate finance wasn’t my end goal so I needed to figure out what It takes to transition. When I turned 23, I produced a fashion show/tradeshow and concert and started developing relationships in the fashion community. I moved to Los Angeles at 24 still working at my nine to five and started to pursue my platform in entertainment any moment I could outside of my day job. I experienced my first major experience working on the Red Carpet the BET awards in 2013, that’s where it hit me, this is where I need to be.

I started developing my platform in digital media, interviewing artists, learning more about event and content production. In 2014, I started working for CBS learned outdoor advertising and marketing. I started a production company in 2016 with my longtime friend recording artist Followjojoe and six months later stepped on the leap of faith and pursued self-employment full time. I’m currently now based in Los Angeles, and in Phoenix working a heavy expansion with local beauty supply Get Sassy Beauty Supply & Barber Supply Lionettis.

Can you give our readers some background on your art?
I create content & marketing campaigns for fashion brands, businesses, and influencers. I also style so I pull amazing high end, vintage, and/or trendy items to style clients for photoshoots. Part of my creative direction is selecting models for campaigns, choosing the photographers, videographers, makeup artists, hairstylists and any additional talent needed.

If someone is looking to start a company or manage day to day operations, they hire me to make it happen. I try to be a one-stop shop for business and companies looking to create dope content. One thing people can people always take away from my work is the edge, the quality, and handwork behind the development. Not only do I select locations to shoot content, I go to the location prior to the shoot to choose spots the models can pose in, I create mood boards to develop the concepts, and style the fashion and props to tell the story.

Any advice for aspiring or new artists?
Never let anyone outwork you! Stay consistent, and make sure when people come across your platform they can determine what it is you do. I think entrepreneurs should stay true to themselves and always look for areas to grow in and develop their craft. In business, I think it’s important to follow up with prospective clients, and show how much of an asset you are. Quality work is key. Finding your niche that stands out from everyone is important in a saturated industry.

What’s the best way for someone to check out your work and provide support?
