Hey, I'm Jessica!
I love creating things. Even as a kid I was drawing cute rip-offs of Garfield comics to make people laugh. Delighting clients and viewers is what I love best about what I do.
I started my professional life out as a front-end developer for websites, which grew into both designing and building them.
After growing from a junior to a lead in that industry, I decided to shift gears and become a general visual designer, with a desire to create more good things than just a nice-looking website: Branding identities, print design, layouts, illustration, UX—I want to make it all!

I live in Seattle with my partner and our two cats: a very large pudding of a cat, and a Victorian ghost boy of a cat. Please look at them.
