Hi! I’m Jess, a graphic designer and illustrator currently based in Brisbane, Australia.

Originally from the UK, I spent ten years in London where I studied for a degree in set design for stage and screen. After a few years of trying to find my footing in the film industry via various roles*, I accidentally fell into the graphics department and never left!

As a graphic designer for film and television my work is incredibly varied, requiring me to jump between design styles and time periods at the drop of a hat. I make graphic props such as fake newspapers, booze labels and branded packaging, as well as larger set pieces such as shop signs, wallpaper and murals. I also recreate and digitally restore actual graphics from the past. I love being able to tell a story through my work, and enjoy that every job brings a new challenge. I have a range of experience across indie films. TV series and major motion pictures.

In recent years I have also been working with small business owners, helping them to bring their creative visions to life. I provide services including brand identity and logo design, illustration and artwork.
