Meet Jessica

Somewhere in life, I was able to strike a perfect balance between hard work and hilarity. No joke on the hilarity – I’m known to laugh more than I probably should but it’s the secret to a long and happy life!
Step on board with a project and right away you’ll appreciate my humor and no-nonsense approach to the world around me. There’s a time for amusement, but I know how to dig in and get things done. I never back down from a challenge and I love tackling all types of projects. I’d love to chat with you about your next project or idea.
Jessica’s Background
I received a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Graphic Design from Columbia College Chicago. I spent significant time focusing on packaging, identity and brand development, publication designs and web. My keen eye for design and unique creative approach is based on the individual needs of each client, regardless of the medium. There are no cookie-cutter solutions!
In the past few years, I have been diving back into my fine art roots and incorporated knitting, painting, refinishing furniture, sewing, and various home improvement projects. Read more about these topics on our design blog.
Select recent clients include and are not limited to Sears, Kmart, ShopYourWay, Lynn Sage Cancer Research Foundation, Brand g Vacations, Northwestern Memorial Foundation, and Crafthouse Cocktails.
In addition to private design work, I spent 10 years working with specialty promotion firms as an Art Director, marketing consultant, and account manager, with big-name clients such as Diageo, Coca-Cola, McDonald’s, McGraw-Hill, Pearson Education, Blue Cross-Blue Shield, MTV, and The Weather Channel.
I have worked hard to perfect my craft(s) and I know my stuff. I can help take the lead and bring your company to the next level. Just say the word.
