MediaStorm welcomes interns Drew Jordan and AJ Maclean to our team. They will both be working with us this fall on some exciting multimedia and interactive design projects.

Drew Jordan is currently finishing his graduate project to fulfill a Master’s degree in multimedia at Syracuse University’s S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications.

Since completing his B.A. in Photography at Webster University, St. Louis, in 2005, he has worked across a wide spectrum of media environments. From producing design/multimedia projects for non-profit organizations around the country to working as a contributing photographer for several publications in New Zealand and Australia, his wunderlust has provided for a very rewarding freelance past. It also led to a stint as a goat herding cowboy in Australia.

With interests in editorial, photojournalistic, and design practices he does not aim to specialize in one but rather meld disciplines to enjoy several ways of storytelling as a whole. Some of his recent clients include Amnesty International, MTV Africa, and Randomhouse.

AJ Maclean is a producer, photographer and current Master’s candidate from Syracuse University in Photography and Multimedia. His particular interest is stories that deal with the fundamental connections and interactions we all have or seek to have with each other.

He is recently coming off of a fellowship with News21, a Carnegie and Knight Foundations educational journalism initiative. As one of 11 national fellows he produced multimedia related to an in-depth investigative project regarding transportation safety in the US.

Previously he has been published in USA Today, ESPN online and Maxim Magazine among several other publications. His experience comes from being a newspaper staff photographer outside of Washington D.C. and in southern Wisconsin where he also received his bachelor’s degree in Contemporary Information Technology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
