About
Hello! I’m Jess, and I’m a writer, artist, and creative consultant based in the greater Seattle area.
By day, I’m a marketing & communications professional in Seattle’s arts & culture sphere. The rest of the time, I’m drawing, writing, dreaming, and scheming with my family near the Cascade foothills.
My heart beats for people and organizations who aren’t just thinking about how to build a better future; they’re doing it, starting from within their immediate communities. I’m drawn to projects centered on food, the environment, humanities, and the arts — the things that make the world a little more colorful, tasty, enjoyable, and just.
Let’s make something beautiful together!

Experience
No matter the role, my work revolves around the collision of carefully crafted words and images to tell stories that matter. Thanks to over 15 years of experience in the publishing and nonprofit industries, I’m skilled at bringing print projects to life, I have a knack for building steadfast marketing teams from the ground up, and I get a thrill from solving creative puzzles of all sizes.
Off the clock
When I’m not at my laptop, you’ll find me exploring rocky beaches and mossy forests with my family, doodling in the margins, or being a mediocre gardener. I love licorice tea, cat videos, baking pretzels, and learning to light things on fire as a beginning silversmith.
