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

Hi Macahl, why did you pursue a creative career?
I love art, I’ve always been a big fan of imagery and artistic values. However, I never knew I could actually draw or create myself, other than music, I didn’t really dable in anything else. But, while I was in New York for an internship, I discovered that I was actually a BEAST at digital illustrations. So I decided to expand into creativity, and that’s how I started my career.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
My art could be described as my favorite features of others. I love to design based off of real life photography and scenes. It inspires me to see the world. I am most excited about my own businesses, where I help business create a unique and passionate visual representation for themselves. Getting here wasn’t easy, but it was definitely worth it.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If you were visiting Houston our week would consist of going downtown and experiencing La Calle’s, which is this bomb Mexican taco joint. They serve original Birria tacos, and currently, it’s my go to on Fridays.

We would HAVE to go to Montrose and experience Buffalo Exchange, along with Korny Vibes, which is a Vegan comfort foods spot! It’s soooooo delicious, but you must get their wings with ranch, it will change your life.

Next, we would have to attend Discovery Green park, and go ice skating Ofcourse.

I just found out about it, but they have paddle boating at Herman Park, and that was a fantastic time. And let’s take a trip to City Centre and enjoy the view while going to the Brazilian Steak House, because its a whole vibe!


Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I want to dedicate my shout out to my dad, Monte Jett. He is the reason I still pursue and desire a career in the arts, plus, there is literally not a day that goes by that my dad isn’t asking about my creative pursuits, which helps me stay focused.
