Vision: Connections Between East and West
The meeting of two cultures can often be moments of awkward formality, misunderstandings and missed opportunities - but I know that it can deliver so much more. From my wealth of experience in both Eastern and Western cultures, I have seen the potential for growth and collaboration, combining the complimentary strengths of both cultures’ traditions, values and ideas in creative business ventures.
Having worked with a number of well-known artists in the music scene in Taiwan, produced the iTunes featured Chinese-learning podcast ‘Chineasy’, and written my own fusion music in both Mandarin Chinese and English, I have been able to combine my creativity with my desire to develop new links.
I have experienced firsthand the success of cross-cultural relations, winning a UK-China cultural relations award in 2018, and I want to help other people make successful partnerships in the Asia Pacific region. I believe it’s not only necessary, but also enriching to build bridges in a time when cross-cultural relations have never been so important.

About Jesse…
I am a creative person, enthusiastic about new ideas and building bridges between people. I have significant experience in the creative industries, writing, performing and producing music. Much of this experience is in a Mandarin Chinese environment as I spent 3 years immersed in the music scene in Taipei.
I am now based in Bristol UK and my production role has evolved into producing music and a number of well received podcasts.
