I am A. Diallo Jackson, sometimes writing under the pen name Umbrus Syn. Primarily a writer, I also design creative-focused websites. My ultimate passion is crafting immersive narratives via whatever tools of medium at hand. My skills include creative storytelling, web design, development, and production. I bring stories to life and create captivating digital experiences, many of which can be found on my portfolio.

From screenplays to motion comics, from marketing narratives to web experiences, I aim to make my products, content, and creations resonate with audiences and push engagement through communicating illumination, both philosophically and visually. I strive to create a sense of excitement through storytelling and design.

I hold an MA in English with an emphasis in Creative Writing and American Literature. Currently, I am publishing the YA Fantasy serialized novel and audiobook/podcast THE FIRST NOEL, and I've produced the Animated Motion Comic version of ANGELA & THE DARK: VOLUME ZERO, featuring the Main Theme music by Murray Gold. Additionally, I've published short stories and novels including THE CLAYMORE and MAYA, and have written for a number of publications including Yahoo!, Geek & Sundry/Nerdist, and US Weekly.
