Hi, I’m Jess.
I bring more than ten years of invaluable expertise as a designer and art director, having honed my skills in marketing, branding, and UX/UI realms while collaborating with prominent industry players and renowned global brands. Explore some of the areas where I excel:
-
Google display ads, billboards, newspaper advertising, video advertising, web banner ads. You name it, I've designed ad creative that is memorable and compelling.
-
Whether it's development of a rough concept, bringing it to life, or refining and perfecting at the final QC stages, I am the proverbial "man behind the curtain" to ensure creative is visually enticing and an effective communication tool.
-
Whether starting from scratch with a new brand seeking to make a splash in their industry, or refining a well-established brand to breathe new life into its visual identity while maintaining brand recognition, I have helped brands establish themselves in their market with memorable logos, brand graphics, visual standards, color palettes, and typography.
-
Ever wonder why so many fast food restaurants use red and yellow in their branding? Or why certain color combinations are pleasing but others trigger a visceral negative reaction? Color has a massive impact on our perception at a subconscious, evolutionary level. I know how to use color correctly and the best color complements to make a brand appear friendlier, more professional, more technological... the list goes on and on.
-
As technology advances, more and more marketing opportunities are turning away from print and toward digital. I've been in the design game long enough to know how to execute a flawless pre-press design for exceptional print quality AND eye-grabbing digital graphics that can stop a doom scroll in its tracks.
-
A user's journey on a website can be effortless and pleasant, or it can be frustrating and feel impossible with just a few (seemingly) small differences. From simple hierarchy in layouts to making sure websites are accessible, I've studied countless websites and consumer habits to develop a deep understanding or what propels a user forward in their journey to craft the best user experiences possible.
-
Illustration is key when it comes to helping a brand stand out among the crowd. I've become an expert at Adobe Illustrator over the past decade, and know how to craft personalized graphics that are a perfect reflection of brand tone and visually communicate a clear message.
-
A great layout design is often much like a game of tetris, but without feeling "crammed". I understand the importance of communicating hierarchy and encompassing all of the essential content in a design so it's easy for the user to digest and comprehend without feeling overwhelmed by information overload.
-
For the majority of my career, I have worked on marketing teams to develop all of the visual components of any given campaign. I am both proficient at conceptualizing creative that appearl to the target demographic, and is cohesive across every size and media for peak memorability.
