about jessica
From an early age, Jessica was always looking to aesthetically improve her surroundings - whether in the form of rearranging her room every three months or designing and making clothes for her dolls. She took every art class available to her in high school, from figure drawing to pottery to commercial art and convinced her parents to send her to the School of Visual Arts' graphic design pre-college intensive in New York City the summer before senior year. It was her first real glimpse into the field of graphic design and from there, she never looked back.
She moved to Boston to attend New England School of Art and Design at Suffolk University, studying both print and web design. This choice helped Jessica land a job with Fresh right out of school, designing marketing materials, store visuals, and running their website. About four years later, with a list of freelance clients growing long and fast, she made the decision to branch out on her own and opened her first studio in Boston's South End, then moving the studio to Fort Point in 2009. In the Fall of 2010, Jessica returned to Suffolk University, this time as an adjunct faculty member, to teach Web Design to both undergrad and graduate students.
Jessica draws her inspiration from most anything that crosses her path, documenting much of it on her blog, Daucus Carota. She loves working with web, both creating clean designs and then figuring out the puzzles that lie in coding them. She's a perfectionist and gets overly excited about beautiful typefaces, infographics and css tricks.
