ABOUT ME
Hi, y'all. My name is Billy “Jetson” Lam and I'm a creative director, designer, filmmaker, adventurer, and dancing buffoon. I've traveled the world designing for American Airlines and helped brand several startups. I've filmed with award-winning artists like Calvin Harris, J. Cole, Diplo and Raekwon (Wu-Tang Clan).
When I was 7 years old, my teacher asked the class to draw what we wanted to be when we grew up and why. I drew a cop and said I wanted to help people.
The cop dream faded. And then later in my life, the doctor dream faded. The ideal career paths faded but the purpose never wavered – I still wanted to help people. Growing older, I realized this was just the process of the journey – the journey into finding my purpose.
“You should be a doctor.”
I wanted to help people. I knew I was blessed with a certain gift. I used to smile proudly and selfishly take credit for these talents. Over 20 years later, I now know that I must work to give it back to the world.
