My name’s Jacob Smith (they/them)

Now

I work at Adobe in Customer Success Operations. My role is to help Enterprise teams use Frame.io to centralize creative collaboration and accelerate project velocity.

I’ve lived in New York since 2021 and usually spend my free time biking, volunteering, and watching TV/film. Lately, I’ve been tinkering with my smart home (run through Home Assistant on a Raspberry Pi) and trying to better organize my <500 square foot apartment. I love reading, I’m typically drawn to literary fiction, personal essays, and science fiction. Check out my recent reads here.

I’m a proud BAM Member and can often be found walking through Prospect Park.

Then

Originally from coastal Maine, I moved to Portland, Oregon for a gap year after high school. I worked for Oregon United For Marriage, the campaign to amend the Oregon state constitution to allow queer couples to marry.

I studied political science and gender studies at The George Washington University in DC. DC’s one of my absolute favorite places in the world.

I moved to New York in February 2020 but, surprise! I left shortly after arriving. I returned a year later and plan to continue investing in home here.
