Jaime Valdovino has a background in music, having earned his doctorate in classical guitar performance at Claremont Graduate University. His primary teacher was Jack Sanders (CGU) with additional studies with Stuart Green (UofR) and Kenton Youngstrom (Falla Trio).
After graduation, he became enamored with photographing the streets of Los Angeles, introducing him the bustling creative scene of the Arts District. It was there where he befriended Life & Thyme founder Antonio Diaz, which subsequently led to the position of community manager and later senior editor for the magazine.
Currently, he owns and operates Veritas Creative Agency—a boutique agency focusing on helping small businesses reach their creative potential.
