TESTIMONIALS
Trusted by visionary leaders to see the big picture and the details, to help make the work matter
“[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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Jessica’s artwork is a major part of why this book should be in everyone’s home. Her initial drafts were spot-on. The few things I wanted her to change, 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.”

“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 go behind her to check every step of the way.”

“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.”

“Jessica led within a very small marketing and communications team to make IAAM shine through various social campaigns, the creation of important brand assets, as well as supporting the entire institution with needs from copywriting, to signage needs to high quality video production. The depth of her work could hardly be explained--her passion for the work allowed the institution to gain invaluable strategic detail in the way the brand showed up everywhere. It is because of that IAAM went on to have successful programming, capture new audiences, and win various awards and acknowledgements. Jessica represents the highest level of creative work come alive. She will forever be one of my favorite colleagues to have worked alongside, due to the ways she helped me elevate my own thinking within the communications space.”
