Welcome to our family of craftspeople
Our social series that features like-minded individuals who embody what it means to be a Jameson, bringing to life their craft taking inspiration from our heritage, brand DNA or even our iconic green bottle.
Have a look at our growing family below… we’ll let them to the talking.
Farouk
Farouk Alao is an artist whose style can’t be pinned down. Video. 3D. Photography. Installation. Motion Design. Making sense of the world around you can’t be confined to one medium. Helping us understand our humanity isn’t achieved in a single piece of work. Distilling down what we think we know about ourselves is a question Farouk keeps returning to answer – each time being a little different to the last.
Crafted Through

Today
We’ve been honing our craft for over 240 years and in this new series, we invite craftspeople to distil theirs, too.
Jasaya Neale
Creating a snapshot with a paintbrush sounds like a paradox, but for Jasaya Neale, highlighting those stories, those moments from his life or yours that might go unnoticed, is what his art is all about. Exploring his Trinidadian heritage and Kansas City upbringing, the LA-based painter rattles through memories to find the subtle beauty in the everyday and remind us that we Must Be in the moment to appreciate it.
Klara Croft
Klara Pichler – aka Klara Croft – is a big-time Berlin tomb raider… wait, no. She’s a big –time Berlin rug designer (we always get those mixed up). With her tufting gun holstered on her hip, and a love of bright, bold colours, Klara puts her creativity out into the world for people to trample over, but that’s exactly what she wants. Fluffy, mood-boosting, eye-catching, and never boring; if this is what rolling out the red carpet is, we want more of it!
Adam Jones
Many artisans have a calling to create. Some fashion furniture. Some fashion stories. And some, just… fashion. London-based clothing designer Adam Jones is an artist who fashions fashion from anything he can get his hands on. From ribbons to beer towels to laughing gas canisters, Adam breathes new life into old materials, proving that a little ageing can produce outstanding results (something we firmly believe in).
Youngmin Kang
If you thought it couldn’t, well… it can. That’s what Youngmin Kang tells himself every day when it comes to his work. Bringing the real to the surreal, this Korea-based contemporary artist’s work is full of Seoul. Kang’s hyper-fusion artwork consistently blends the expected with the unexpected to create something we can recognise as familiarly completely different. If we know anything about blending (and we do), that’s exactly the point.
Killian O’Mahony
Killian O’Mahony is a cooper in our distillery in Midleton, Co. Cork. In 2019 he became the first newly qualified cooper for the distillery in over 40 years and is part of the next generation carrying on the old traditions of fixing and maintaining barrels by hand. Working by eye, this master of staves ensures every drop of Jameson that sits in a barrel stays there until we decide it’s ready. If that’s not art, then we don’t know what is.
