Jessica is passionate about Brand Cohesiveness and Identity. Research-driven storytelling, aesthetics, and client-facing identity to help your unique business reach the modern audience.
Jessica’s creative perspective and design fundamentals are deeply rooted in the performing arts.

This multidisciplinary background continues to shape her approach to design, blending artistic expression with thoughtful, purposeful communication.
Jessica earned her Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Design from La Roche University, graduating Summa Cum Laude in the spring of 2023. Alongside her academic studies, she continued pursuing dance, drawing & painting through community fine art classes, further developing the creativity, discipline, and adaptability that inform her professional work.

Her creative experience has continued to grow through freelance design opportunities and collaborations at Forged In Faith Church, where her faith in Jesus Christ inspires her work and encourages her to seek God’s Kingdom first in the people she serves and the opportunities she pursues. Jessica’s technical background reflects both formal education and a lifelong curiosity for technology; a passion familiar to anyone who grew up as a “MySpace kid.” She enjoys exploring the intersection of creativity and technology, transforming ideas into meaningful visual experiences that help businesses communicate their unique identities and connect with their audiences.
