A little about myself

Hi, I’m Jessica! 👋

When I’m not designing intuitive digital experiences, you’ll probably find me outdoors with my family or curled up with a good book. Growing up in a military family, I moved around a lot, which gave me a love for new places, different cultures, and the stories behind them.

I’m a firm believer that good design isn’t just about how something looks—it’s about how it makes you feel. That philosophy extends beyond my work and into my everyday life, whether it’s planning a family adventure, trying out a new recipe, or getting lost in a DIY project.

Oh, and I’ll never say no to a great cup of iced coffee.🧋

Let’s connect and create something awesome together! 🚀
