Jesse Pimenta is a product designer and creative technologist based in Brooklyn with over a decade of experience building and prototyping tools, platforms, and visual systems across culture and software.
He has lead as a Creative Technologist at Beats by Dre, Senior Product Designer at Foundation, and Design Lead at Context, Catalog, and most recently Kaiber AI, one of the earliest AI video generation platforms. Along the way he contributed AI work to the opening title sequence of Demascus (Tubi/AMC, starring Martin Lawrence) — one of the first AI-assisted title sequences to reach final production.
He builds his own tools — campseek.fm and dubplate.club — and runs Dance Data, an independent record label and underground fanzine stocked at Printed Matter NYC.
Select collaborators include Apple, Beats by Dre, Boiler Room, Warp Records, NTS Radio, Red Bull Music Academy, Adidas, and Porsche Design.
