Hi, I’m Jess

I help food & beverage, retail, eco-conscious & service based brands bring their vision to life through bold, purposeful branding that connects with the right audience.

With over 15 years of experience, I blend unique visuals with strategic design thinking to create branding that’s not just eye-catching, but true to who you are. I’ve seen firsthand how good design can shift a business from “just getting by” to confidently showing up and standing out.

My mission is to help purpose-led businesses feel seen, supported, and excited by how their brand looks and feels — because when your branding is aligned and authentic, it builds trust, creates deeper connections with your audience, and ultimately drives sales.

Success Stories

  • "The process that Jess takes you through is very thorough and her communication is excellent throughout the whole process."

    It was such a pleasure working with Jess to bring our brand to life. We started with no idea of what we wanted to look like or "be" as a brand and Jess was able to guide us through a process that helped us realise who we are as a brand and then crafted an amazing logo and supporting illustrations.

    On our first day of markets after launching our rebrand we sold more jams than ever and had so many compliments on our new branding. It was such an excellent experience working with Jess and we couldn't be happier with the branding, logo and illustrations she has created for us.

  • “Exceptional talent and service, Jess transformed our brand!"

    We recently had the pleasure of working with Jess on developing a brand identity kit for our cheese and artisan food company, and the experience was nothing short of phenomenal.

    From the outset, Jess demonstrated an impressive level of professionalism, creativity, and a deep understanding of our industry's unique needs. Her ability to transform our ideas into a visually stunning and cohesive brand identity exceeded all our expectations. What stood out most, however, was Jess's commitment to ensuring our satisfaction.

  • "She asks all the right questions so that the illustrations she creates fully and completely embodies the essence of your brand."

    Working with Jess was a really fun experience. Approachable, fun, easy to work with. I would highly recommend Jess for any branding/logo/illustrations for your business. And finally... she has rooted for our business the whole time, a great supporter.

  • "Jess was an absolute joy to work with and is extraordinarily creative."

    After seeing the result of a re-brand of a wedding industry colleague I knew I had to touch base with Jess. I didn't know what I wanted but I got what I needed. Jess was an absolute joy to work with and is extraordinarily creative. If you've come this far you've answered your own question as to whether Jess is right for you! Five stars is not enough!
