meet jessica
founder + designer
I’m Jessica, or Jessie Mary, as my hubby often calls me. Living in Northern Virginia with my husband Dan, our incredible growing up too quickly teen daughter, our slightly wild child 1st grader, and three furry children.
I believe in living each moment of life to the fullest, whether that means appreciating quiet moments at home or exploring somewhere new. I think road trips are the best way to travel, and have visited 28 national parks while spending two months traveling cross country.
I’m also obsessed with visual presentation and technology.
I have a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts, training in Multimedia Design, and eight years experience working in Information Technology. In 2008, I had my first daughter and quit my corporate job to do doing freelance photography. During this time, I also dived into expanding my skills WordPress and website design.
In 2013, I started accepting web design clients, first working with only photographers, and then expanded into working with all types of women-led small businesses. My favorite part about what I do is collaborating with women, watching the concepts we envision come to life.
"Jess gets it done. Period. For me, the biggest thing is that she doesn't let things fall through the cracks- she MAKES you follow through, which is one of the hardest parts of web design. Creating copy is hard, and Jess guides you through it. Jess and her team are organized, get-it-done machines, and I value that so much... plus the product you get is fantastic." -MK
