turning ideas into reality since 2007
I graduated from the fashion institute of design and merchandising, with my degree in graphic design. Interned for FIDM and freelanced before nailing a position at CleanFun Promotional Marketing now known as Halo Branded Solution, where I worked for nearly 10 years. I worked with major companies like FOX, VANS, JESSICA SIMPSON, ARABONNE, AMERICAN CREW, MARVEL, DISNEY, & TOYOTA, just to name a few. I now am committed to my own work through contracting, helping everyone from small mom and pop shops, large companies, parents, and brides in creating the perfect design for their business or event. I am currently contracting with companies like Gander Group in their promotional marketing department for over 3 years as a Senior Graphic Artist and Art Director. Here I oversee and manage all incoming requests for hundreds of casinos throughout the United States, like CAESARS, HARRAH'S, BALLY'S, PALMS, HARD ROCK, FOXWOODS, THUNDER VALLEY, MORONGO, YAAMAVA and more. Additionally I have been contracting with SmartSource for almost a year, working on product development and packaging for companies like CAMPBELL'S, PACE, & MONTEREY. I am a great leader and team player combination and I take initiative to be ahead of the game. I work well under pressure, have quick turn-around time, able to manage multiple deadlines within multiple time zones, while still having immense creativity. I am an all-around creative artist that can be a great asset to your business.​ I look forward to creating with you.

I've worked with Jessica for over 15 years, mostly in the wild world of entertainment promotions—where deadlines are brutal, direction is vague, and expectations are sky-high. Through it all, she's been my not-so-secret weapon.
She’s lightning-fast, takes direction like a seasoned pro, and then—somehow—goes beyond it, bringing a creative spark that’s equal parts strategic and surprising. She doesn't just deliver what's asked—she elevates it, always finding a smarter, more visually compelling way to tell the story.
The best part? She makes me look like a rockstar to clients. Every. Single. Time.
If you’re lucky enough to work with her, buckle up. You’re in for top-tier design, a no-drama process, and a creative partner who gets it. I truly can’t say enough good things—so I’ll just say this: she’s the real deal.

Jessica was introduced to our company about a year ago now. She is amazing to work with, so talented and fast at not only responding to your emails but all of the art requests we send to her. I have never been able to work with someone that you can have a 10-minute phone conversation with and she already has a dozen of ideas on what to do to make our projects amazing. She has amazed a few of our national clients including Campbell Soup Company with her box designs and creative work on a large project we did. Also, another major client Monterey/Blackfin boats she created beautiful artwork for an LED wall that showcased a national award they won for their boat designs.
You can never go wrong working with Jessica, and we will never work with another graphic artist. Keep up the great work Smart Source appreciates you!

I have had the pleasure of working with Jessica for many years across a diverse range of projects, and we continue to collaborate to this day. She is an exceptionally skilled graphic designer whose work consistently reflects creativity, precision, and efficiency. Jessica has contributed to the development of catalogs, websites, flyers, and numerous client product mockups, which I then produce as custom-manufactured items. Her talent and professionalism are truly outstanding—she is, without a doubt, one of the best in the field.
