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.
Drew currently lives in Brooklyn, loves a cold beer with a cooler looking label, and terribly misses his three legged German Short Haired Pointer, Jack.
