Chicago Scanning’s

Jason Davis
Founder
Jason is a lifelong Chicagoan and holds a degree from the Illinois Institute of Art. Prior to starting Chicago Scanning in 2018, Jason worked as a creative instructor at Apple in Lincoln Park. It was during his time at Apple that he discovered new ways to digitize vintage media and his family’s positive reaction to seeing those old photos and movies sparked his interest in digital archiving. Jason has over 20 years of experience in professional photography and graphic design.
