Hi, I’m Jaye!
As a 30+ year international entertainment industry veteran, I’ve earned Telly, Davey and Pixie Awards for my video work. My trailers, titles sequences and commercials have aired in over 100 million homes across the globe.

The Clever Unicorn LLC Origin Story
A CAREER IN THE LIFE
My first and forever love is music and performing arts. I’ve sung in operas, musicals, and performed in plays. As a classically trained vocalist, I’ve contributed my voice and songwriting to film scores.
Humble Brags
Credited as NiNi of the gothic industrial music duo Corvo, I wrote and sang the theme song (entitled “Home”) for Rachel Caine’s #1 Internationally Bestselling Morganville Vampires Series. I also edited/animated the book trailer.
You can hear my singing voice in the soundtrack to the SyFy original, Red Clover (which aired on SyFy as Leprechaun’s Revenge) to the tune of three million viewers just on debut night. The movie went on to air globally on various horror networks, and has a cult following as a fun B horror movie. I also animated the opening Irish limerick sequence (you’ll know it when you see it), and the opening titles sequence.
I also sang in the acclaimed Daywalt Horror web series, Camera Obscura, which was Academy Award-winner Jack Klugman’s last role in one stellar, iconic acting career.

Responsible for all department communications from FOX Network headquarters – this was before email! We received PAPER notifications that needed to be copied and distributed to various departments. If it wasn’t channeled correctly, bad things could happen, like on-air black holes and lost revenue. 😱

Assisted marketing department at local radio drives and TV events. Keeper of the marketing library – we created most of our ads from PRINT materials sent by network/movie studios in physical press kits!
Ah, the days of “retro TV marketing.” 😂

Every once in a while, I find myself wanting to write here on my website. I’m usually too busy writing offline or for other people, so I don’t do this here often, but here’s my latest bit of digital scribbling at any rate! 🤓
