What Clients Say
“[Jessica] demonstrated remarkable creativity, strategic thinking, and foresight in creating the Black-owned Airbnb list, a valuable resource for both internal stakeholders and external customers. She has a strong pulse on culture, and her work helped shift the narrative around customer confidence on Airbnb and broader conversations about racial discrimination on the platform.”
SIMONE HARVEY
FORMER GLOBAL BLACK ERG CO-LEAD
AIRBNB
“While [Communications Manager] was her title, Jessica was truly so much more. She was a trusted thought partner, creative strategist, and an integral part of bringing our vision to life. She has a rare ability to balance big-picture strategic thinking with flawless execution, all while bringing creativity, calm, and positivity to every challenge. She was an absolute dream teammate.”
NATACHA MCLEOD
FORMER SENIOR DIRECTOR OF MARKETING
INTERNATIONAL AFRICAN AMERICAN MUSEUM
“In the branding and creative industry, a lot of professionals are either strong strategist or strong designers. Jessica is both. She can see the big idea, the campaign, the visual direction, and the smallest details without losing the thread. Her work has staying power. It feels current without feeling disposable.”
DANA JAMES MWANGI
FOUNDER, BRAND CONSULTANT
CHEERS CREATIVE
“Jessica’s artwork is a major part of why this book should be in everyone’s home. Her initial drafts were spot-on, and the few things I wanted changed, before I could email her, literally, she would have already emailed back those changes. She created things, in my wildest dreams, I would not have imagined.”
CLAUDIA WALKER
INDEPENDENT AUTHOR + PUBLISHER
HBCU PREP SCHOOL
“Jessica has a real knack for ‘getting’ the client and the look and feel that you’re going for. You won’t be disappointed. She’s someone you can discuss major goals with, and she’ll make them happen without having to check every step of the way.”
DEBI SCHADEL
CO-FOUNDING AGENCY PARTNER
FLOCK + RALLY
“If you care about how your business is positioned and how it’s presented to the public, Jessica’s the right choice. Two months after launching our rebrand, our ROI more than quadrupled what we invested for our new look. Jessica just gets it. Period.”
