Hi, I’m Jack Myer—a multimedia producer based in Austin, Texas. I create video content for the Cockrell School of Engineering’s YouTube and social channels, collaborating with faculty and students to document research, lab life, and student activities, while shaping content strategies that elevate the brand online. Before this, I worked in journalism as a photographer and photo editor across St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Austin American-Statesman, The Daily Texan, and Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, where I learned to tell compelling stories on deadline and develop visuals that complement reporting.
