The StyleJumper
The StyleJumper is a channel I edited for my friend, Ihsaan Ali, for nearly three years—covering almost 50 episodes from 2021 to 2023. Ihsaan is based in Baltimore, MD, while I’m in Kansas City, MO, so we worked remotely the entire time—except for one special interview we recorded together in San Diego, CA, in 2023.
Our production process was straightforward but consistent: Ihsaan would write and record an episode every week by Tuesday, and I would edit after work, ensuring it was ready for release by Friday. Over time, we expanded into editing his live podcast, which he hosted on Instagram Live and later released on YouTube. This involved audio sweetening and mastering on my end, along with assembling the video elements. We also refined our graphics package, combining my Motion software creations with the occasional plugin purchase.
Then, in May 2023, Ihsaan invited me to join him at San Diego Mesa College for a screening of his presentation, Fashion and Foster Care. Afterward, we recorded an interview—our only two-camera, two-person shoot in our three years of working together on The StyleJumper. Ihsaan, my brother—much love.
