Hey, I'm Jess, an award-winning Art Director and Vitamix owner working at BBDO New York. So far in this life, I've made ad campaigns, short films, drawings, a Filipino restaurant and pretty great guacamole. My work has been recognized by Cannes, D&AD, One Show, Art Directors Club and more, and my restaurant was recognized by Yelp with some pretty great reviews. So there’s that.

Before advertising, I played drums in an instrumental synthpop band called The Party Tigers.
