ABOUT
Beginnings
Anthony and Josh met as roommates in Manhattan. They soon began collaborating on side projects and client work. Realizing the potential they had working together, they partnered up full-time and created JAKT.
Who We Are
Anthony is a resident New York nightlife expert who also runs point on business management and client relationships. Far braver than I, he decided that “normal” jobs were not going to cut it and has cut his own path since moving to New York five years ago. He also codes.
Josh is a [smart-ass] engineer from Michigan. And that about sums it up. Oh, and after taking his first Instagram picture, he decided that the filters weren't enough and developed a passion (obsession) with photography. He now has every piece of equipment imaginable. Thank you Instagram.
Greg is the newest addition to the team. He actually grew up with Anthony in San Diego, but when college came, they went their separate ways. After not being in contact for 4 years, fate would have it that a random Facebook message + Skype session + a temporary move to SF where Greg was based would lay the the foundation for them to work together. Greg is now our ridiculously talented designer. Extremely happy to have him join.
