About Me

My name is Jeff Nesmith. Born in Atlanta and grew up in the DC area, but I have lived and worked all over the world. I am a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer, an Eagle Scout, and an avid artist and musician. I love creating work that moves people to take action. Through Nesmith Creative, I shine a light on great work being done by companies, nonprofits, and schools. Sometimes branding, sometimes design, sometimes filmmaking. Mostly, filmmaking.
