Jacob Christensen is the Creative Director of JKC Video. Christensen focuses his energy into creating impactful video content, teaching others, and making the world a better place. “Many people have a career trajectory that’s easier to follow because they can quickly list their prior roles and mention what company they so proudly worked for. I, on the other hand, have been running my own production company for over a decade. That said, I’ve had the great joy of working with hundreds of clients, all of which have helped shape my creative style and techniques of leadership,” Christensen said. In his remarks, he shared that this recognition means the world to him, and that it was a surreal experience to be selected for this award. Beyond attending UW for both his undergraduate and Master’s degree, Christensen is also an instructor for the Communication Leadership program.
