ABOUT & CONTACT
HI, I'M JESS!
A New York based freelance lighting designer, visual artist, craft explorer, and multi-disciplinary design assistant, I'm passionate about blending artistry, organization, and system-oriented processes to ground, support, and elevate cool people making cool things happen.
​
I grew up constantly inspired by the arts in Houston, TX. After attending the High School for the Performing and Visual Arts with an emphasis in Theatre and Lighting Design, I graduated from The Peter E. Sargent Conservatory of Theatre Arts at Webster University in St. Louis, MO with a B.F.A in Lighting Design, Departmental Honors, Summa Cum Laude while taking as many classes in the Visual Art Department as possible as well. After that, I packed a U-Haul full of art supplies, a rabbit, and a kitten, and moved to New York.
​
I believe in life-long exploration and growth, the power of honest communication, and that the whole can always be greater than the sum of our parts when we engage in true collaboration.
