Jason Groupp is the Director of WPPI. Like Woody Allen, Jason adores New York City, far beyond any healthy proportion. “This is a town that is based in black and white; where colors explode like matches and pulses to the rhythms of Gershwin,” Jason says. “I thrive on the hustle and bustle of the crowds and traffic. Jason first fell in love in with The City while attending The Fashion Institute of Technology, then during the past 12 years in his West Chelsea photography studio, and now in the downtown offices of Nielsen, where he says that each day is truly an adventure.
