ABOUT ME
Hello! I'm Jessica.
I'm an art director originally from New York, but am now happily living in London with dual citizenship.
I'm passionate about design, typography/lettering and taking far too many photos while travelling. I love interior design and learning to build (simple) furniture, and now that I finally have some garden space I am trying to cultivate a green thumb (though I don't always succeed!).
