about me

I’m Jess (she/they), a jack-of-all-trades creative professional based out of Santa Fe, NM, specializing in natural light photography and printed media design, as well as making art in all its forms. I am also skilled in event planning, production, and general organizational problem solving.

I graduated in 2015 from the Rochester Institute of Technology in Upstate New York with a BFA in Photographic Illustration/Visual Media, and concentrations in Print Media, English, Public Relations/Communications, and Business Management.

Beyond my degree, I am always looking to learn and grow in my crafting skills. I am almost perpetually working on making something - as of late, it has been crocheting and sewing clothes and accessories, but over the years I’ve worked in a number of crafts including ceramics, jewelry-making, woodwork, macramé, loom weaving, acrylic pouring, pressed flower art, hand-embroidery, models/dioramas, upcycling/restoring furniture, signmaking, and tie dye, just to name a few. If there is a craft to be learned, I am excited to give it a try.

I am open to working with individuals and businesses on projects related to:

  • graphic design:

    • printed media (menus, certificates, greeting/postcards, business cards, flyers, signage)

  • arts & crafts

    • assisting with larger projects

    • commissioning custom work

  • event planning & production

  • organizational assistance/consultation

  • photography:

    • headshots/single person

    • couples and families

    • small weddings and elopements

    • promotional work (retail, architectural, etc.)

    • live music/events

    • second-shooting for larger events

    • image retouching/photoshop work
