INTRODUCTION

Like it says on the tin, I'm Jessica and I like to make stuff. More specifically, I'm a writer who can also edit, an editor who gets excited about designing things and a designer who can spell. That basically sums it up, but the full details are listed in my résumé and all the related pretty pictures can be found in my clips file.

Originally from Colorado, I studied journalism and music at the University of Colorado at Boulder, where in addition to two shiny diplomas I also picked up some random but useful skills in radio announcing, concert program annotation and astronomy education. From there, I've been fortunate to work as an editor, designer and writer for (among others) the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Albany (Georgia) Herald, several trade and tourism publications in the United Kingdom and a London-based digital signage firm.

I returned to the States in 2006, and am currently pushing pixels as a print and Web designer for GoDaddy.com. When I’m not at my desk, I'm probably running, doing yoga, dancing Argentine tango, making jewelry or searching out the next stamp for my passport.

I’m available for freelance work of all specifications, as well as general consultancy in editorial and design.
