Jaymie is a dynamic and unique professional who blends his expertise as an entertainment lawyer with his skills as a trained actor, clown, and comedian. In his early days at UCLA School of Law,Jaymie discovered comedy and clowning as a way to stay balanced, joyful, and creative. He graduated at the top of his law school class and attributes this success in no small part to having had such a playful and silly creative outlet.

As an entertainment lawyer, he handled high-profile cases involving Disney, Marvel, Paramount Pictures, Amazon Studios, and more. As a clown, he has performed and taught on stages large and small and at festivals around the world. His journey led him to create Clown Cardio, a team building and wellness program that invites adults and professionals to rediscover their playful spirit and to use play as a way to foster well-being, creativity, leadership, and innovation. This novel venture quickly caught the eye of international media, with features in The New York Times, NYLON Magazine, and Monocle. In response to this international demand, Jaymie decided to dedicate himself full-time to helping others play more.

Jaymie leverages his unique mix of professional and creative expertise to inspire adults and serious professionals to embrace the endless personal and professional benefits of play.

Play Workshops: During Play Workshops, which can last anywhere from 5 minutes to 2 hours, we use clown and theater games with various focuses including communication, teamwork, creativity, problem solving,leadership, change management, mindfulness, stress and burnout relief, trust and connection. Most games involve everyone participating simultaneously, or in a few large groups.
