Hi! I'm Jess, an award-winning graphic and motion graphics designer with a passion for creating compelling, unique and fun social media campaigns. With over 12 years of experience across governmental, non-profit, and advertising agencies, I produce quality, creative work that exceeds my clients' expectations.

After graduating with a bachelor's in Advertising and Public Relations from Michigan State University, I jumped into a graphic design role in downtown Chicago. I spent ten amazing years learning the ropes on everything design related, spending time at both advertising agencies as well as non-profits with a strong focus on healthcare and housing. Along the way, I taught myself motion graphics as well as HTML/CSS. As I gained experience, I found myself moving more and more into the social realm, specializing in creative social media campaigns across a variety of platforms.

After receiving an offer for my dream job - designing and animating for the United Nations - I left Chicago with a heavy heart (but so much experience). Today, I'm living in Istanbul and still working with the United Nations, developing creative social media campaigns, motion graphics, brand packages, and whatever else comes my way.

Best compliment I've ever received: "You are brave and a little crazy."
