Life is a creative act, and I believe creativity lives within all of us.
Hi, I’m Jess – a brand strategist, creative director, human-centered designer, mentor, coach, board member, teacher, speaker, writer, partner, and mother.
My (almost) two decades in the creative industry have spanned working in-house for DTC, running my own studio, strategizing for startups, innovating for fortune 500 companies, mentoring creative teams, leading human-centered research, building differentiating experiences, and crafting trailblazing brands.
We can shift our perspectives and realities by tapping into our intuitive, creative flow.
I’m here to help others bring vibrant new ideas into the world, reimagine structures and processes, and crystalize their calling.
My definition of creativity is constantly expanding – once seen as drawing and designing, I now view it as a tool to form the world we live in. I’ve learned that the lines between creating for work and life blur beautifully – and that creating when in intuitive flow accelerates our connection to others and our purpose.
