About

Jason Urso portrait

Jason
Urso

I understand both the creative vision behind a project and the business structure required to bring it to life.

I'm a Los Angeles-based operations, marketing and creative strategy leader. I've worked on both the developer and agency sides of the industry — leading brand development, campaigns, project delivery, business development and operations.

A spontaneous road trip from Pennsylvania to San Francisco turned into a career on remarkable developments. I'm completing my bachelor's in Urban Planning at Arizona State University — and yes, I'm a former nationally ranked collegiate cheerleading champion.
