Jon-Marc Balint

I'm an all-around creative, who has been creating content for brands such as Nokia, Viacom and La Mer since graduating from UPenn as an Econ/Film double major in 2010.

Food, football and comedies are "a few of my FAVORITEEEE things" and I'm especially grateful for how The Perfect Jean makes enjoying all 3 even better and more comfortable. I love working with my TPJ FAM to spread smiles on both faces and testes all around the world.
