I’m Jess. An Art Director & Designer currently based in Sydney.
I got my start in ad land selling ideas in account service before discovering my passion for making them as a creative. This led to further studies at AWARD School, Shillington and Copy school.
Across both account and creative roles I’ve worked on a range of campaigns spanning banking, pharma, automotive, FMCG, government, not-for-profit and publishing.
Bursting with creative energy, I like to let off a little steam by experimenting with type and design, creating stories and bringing to life meaningful ideas that connect with others.
If you’d like a little insight into what inspires me, or you’re just in need of some inspiration, let me recommend this quiz!
