Hi. My name is Jacques, and I am a 22-year-old creative and a recent graduate of the University of Washington's informatics program. I work heavily with user interfaces, databases, and most of all, people. Through my studies I have learned how to build accessible technology and collaborate with development teams. My long-term goal is to utilize my skills in informatics towards a role in the music industry, but for now I am seeking to get famliar with the creative industry as a whole.

During my time at school, I was involved in UW Arts & Entertainment, HHSA (Hip Hop Student Association), and SEJ (Students for Educational Justice), a project helping serve formerly-incarcerated UW students. Outside of class, I spent most of my time playing soccer, cooking, or exploring the Seattle arts scene. Throughout my time in Seattle, I have been fortunate enough to meet an abundance of wonderfully-talented creatives who continue to push and inspire me every day. Special thanks to i///u as well as my friends at Human Condition and Possi for igniting my own creative drive and providing Seattle with a blooming young creative community than is becoming more and more interconnected and collaborative.

Here's what I've been listening to recently . You can contact me at jacques.debar@gmail.com.
