On why it's time to bet on yourself Quentin Jones Multidisciplinary Artist, Filmmaker & Founder

I think to be successful, you need to be able to tolerate all of the mixed emotions that come with backing yourself and putting yourself out there

Quentin Jones is a multidisciplinary artist and filmmaker whose work blends collage, surrealism, and expressive hand-made processes. After years creating imagery for global fashion houses and directing acclaimed film projects, she founded House of Quentin Jones — a design-driven world where art slips into everyday life. She studied Philosophy at Cambridge before completing an MA in Communication Design at Central Saint Martins. Canadian-born, London-raised, and now Brooklyn-based, Quentin brings a multifaceted, eclectic sensibility to everything she creates.

 

In this episode, Quentin shares the very real emotions behind launching her own brand, House of Quentin Jones. From self-doubt and reinvention to ambition and instinct, it’s a refreshingly candid conversation about evolving beyond the career that found you – and having the nerve to build the one you actually want. 

 

Quentin is a unique character and force who’s straddled life both in-front of the lens as a model and then to behind, directing high profile campaigns for fashion, culture and luxury giants including Chanel, Adidas, Dior and Louis Vuitton – so, the move into founding her own brand wasn’t an escape from a lacking career – it’s an expansion of an already established one!

Quentin reflects on the power of luck and instinct guiding her trajectory, moving fluidly between disciplines, early success in filmmaking and photography, recognising the superpower of production and the questioning that led to a pivitol shift. 

 

This is an unfiltered conversation about risk, identity and the uncomfortable but powerful act of backing yourself. 

Buckle up! It’s raw. It’s real. And it’s right on time!
