🚀 Welcome to Skewed North
You know that feeling when life hands you a map, sets it on fire, and yells, “Trust the process”? Or when you look around and think, “Well, that took a turn”?
Yeah, same.
Hi, I’m Jolene—artist, storyteller, and navigator of the beautifully lost.
I’ve spent my life chasing inspiration across the world, making movies, writing stories, and creating art—all while navigating love, loss, adventure, and reinvention. My journey has taken me through epic highs and devastating lows, and I’ve learned how to find meaning (and humor) in the mess.
What is Skewed North?
Welcome to Skewed North, where detours are the destination, chaos is alchemized into creativity, and we navigate life while driving under the influence of inspiration—no maps, no limits. Here, we learn to trust the process (kicking and screaming if necessary).
Skewed North is for you if…
🔹 You know the best stories don’t follow a script—and neither does life.
🔹 You’ve been lost, hit roadblocks, or taken detours, but you keep moving anyway.
🔹 You crave inspiration that’s raw, unfiltered, and occasionally full of typos.
🔹 You love deep conversations, great art, and WTF moments that shake things up.
🔹 You need a roadmap (or at least a flashlight) for when life goes sideways—where to hide, how to clean up the mess, and how to move forward. Because this life is a tragic magic ride, and sometimes we all need a little help navigating it.
Think of me as your slightly unhinged tour guide through the wilds of love, loss, and chasing inspiration—not one to follow road signs, but always tuned in to the cosmic GPS. When the universe sends a signal, I’m all in.
I share my stories in two timelines—one looking back, one unfolding now. The past shaped me, but the journey isn’t over, and I’m bringing you along for the ride.
