Product Designer, Illustrator, Retro Aesthetics Enthusiast

Hi there,
I'm Jess

Born in Japan, raised in the US, and based in Washington, DC, I am available to design amazing and accessible digital products anywhere.

When I’m not designing, I’m often filming, storyboarding or writing scripts for video projects, practicing my special FX makeup, playing video games on my PC (that I built), or drooling over 1970s-80s tech on eBay.
