Hi. I'm J. Curtis.

My work often begins with a single “what if?” question, exploring what drives us, how we shape the world, and how it shapes us in return.

I’ve spent my career at the crossroads of creativity and engineering, where imagination collides with reality. Over the years, I’ve written and directed short films, managed live events, and led teams of designers and engineers in product development. These experiences taught me to craft narratives that are both grounded and inventive—stories that ask us to look closer, reflect, and wonder.

Now, I call Northern California home, where I live with my wife and two kids. A quieter life spent gardening and reconnecting with the land keeps me inspired and connected to the small, meaningful details that often find their way into my writing.

Thanks for taking time to drop by. I hope we can connect, share stories, and explore the big questions together.
