We had the good fortune of connecting with Demetrius Jackson and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Demetrius, why did you pursue a creative career?
I decided to pursue a creative career because I know the way my mind flows and I would not want to put a ceiling on that. I feel like since I have always been so quick to lose interest in doing “work” that doesn’t excite me, why settle for that when I don’t have to. I can truly say I love the process behind everything I do and that’s my purpose.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
My art is professional image enhancing. I enhance other peoples images by providing them all my services in one package. My services include photography, styling, barbering & social media management. I landed on this title due to having interests in all of my current services & making a way for them to work for me. There will always be a learning curve but if you can look at that in a positive way & not a negative, you are 10 steps ahead already. Your mindset is everything.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I love living in the museum district. It makes me feel like a tourist in my own city. For breakfast, I’d have to give it to Christys Donuts on W Gray St! In addition to the top-tier customer service, they are right around the corner from my home. Lunch time has to be Pappadeaux, no debate. To end a great day with a drink and a delicious appetizer, I am going to have to go with Joey Uptown. The management(Drake/David) is taking care of the city over there, true fan.
