Hi I'm Jess! I'm a Graphic Designer, Illustrator, and thrifted sweater enthusiast based in Winston Salem, NC. I have my BFA in Graphic Design from Appalachian State University.
At my day job, I’m a graphic designer working remotely for a boutique marketing firm. Here, I help clients with everything from branding and collateral projects to building websites and video editing.
Outside of my job, I enjoy playing around with all sorts of soft things. You’ll often find me dyeing my own fabric, quilting, sewing, and knitting—but I’m also a big fan of screen printing and illustration.
I spend my free time reading, playing Dungeons & Dragons, thrifting, and playing video games.
Feel free to reach out here or via Instagram DMs with any inquiries or questions about my work!
Howdy!
