Hello.
This is usually the page where the designer lists her capabilities in dull, third person marketing speak. But I got stuck after “Jessica has worked as a graphic designer for more than ten years, crafting identities and marketing collateral for a range of organizations, from large corporations to local businesses and non-profits.” That’s as far as I got, because I feel too silly writing about myself as if I’m not in the room.

Here’s the gist of what I do: I help you, a business, talk to your customers in language they can understand. That means selecting the right mix of imagery and words that will inspire your audience to take action—whether it’s to buy your product, visit your website, attend your function, or leave your business card out as a reminder instead of tossing it in the back of a drawer.

A layout with pretty pictures is nice, but a thoughtful concept with top-notch execution is better. My task is to listen carefully to your objectives, check out your competition, understand your audience, and give you a successful solution to your design problem.

Many clients hire me directly. Sometimes I team up with marketers, copywriters, or website developers on jobs that have a scope broader than my specialty, print design. I'm located in Evanston, IL and work with local companies as well as businesses elsewhere in the country.

If there’s a project you’d like to discuss, I’d be happy to talk with you.
