Jarrett Woo

Jarrett Woo is a multicultural and multidisciplinary artist, writer & director from New York City. His passion for film blossomed from watching Hype Williams music videos and Scorsese films at a young age. Through his own films, he fights to express cultural unity and emotional intelligence for future generations. Woo attended the HS of Art & Design, interned at the Metropolitan Museum, and was mentored by the legendary Milton Glaser (designer of I Love NY logo). Woo’s diligent work earned him a full scholarship to Parsons School of Design, where he earned his BFA in Communication Design. After graduation, he became an art teacher in the NYC Public Schools, and later an art director at the leading global agency Naked Communications, managing the visual design for multi-million dollar accounts. Woo started three successful companies of his own within film, design, and music, gaining much underground and mainstream success through his work. Collaborating with internationally renowned music artists and brands, he created commercials, music videos and visual campaigns that led him to tour the world, including Africa, Europe, Japan, and Australia. In May 2017, Woo earned his MFA at USC’s School of Cinematic Arts.
