I am Jaz
ACD @ HBO MAX


I am a passionate and innovative creative leader, currently working as an ACD at HBO Max. Before joining HBO Max, I was a part of a diverse range of design projects as an in-house and agency Creative Lead and Designer, across multiple disciplines.

While here at HBO Max, alongside the Product team, our Design team has celebrated launching HBO Max (SVOD/AVOD) - 3 Times, elevated the design system, and received multiple Awards: Webby Awards for Visual Design (2021 and 2022.), Clio (2023), Vega Digital Award (2025) and Apple TV App of the Year (2025.)

I have a passion for the intersection of technology, storytelling and design. My superpowers are coaching / mentoring talent, guiding the vision, and finding innovative ways to elevate creative, no matter how big or small.
