HELLO, I'M JESSICA

MEET THE DESIGNER

Technology and design have been an integral part of my life from a young age. In the 5th grade I wanted a computer. My father, a scientist with a computer building hobby, bought me the components to build my first PC - and I did! 

Ultimately, I knew I'd have a career involving computers, but I wanted to learn about as many opportunities as I could. When I went to college I needed so many credits in each field for my degree, Communication Arts. I enrolled in a graphic design course. The moment I turned in my first assignment, I knew that this was the career path I would want to continue. I was offered a job in the Communications Lab at St. John's University, by the dean of our college, where I spent time practicing with software and learning about design concepts.
 
I interned at Seventeen Magazine in New York. Upon graduation, I freelanced for publications such as SELF, BRIDES, & TWIST, to name an few. All of these experiences led me to open my first business, a graphic design studio.

While in school in 2012, I opened Ruffled Paper. Ruffled Paper was created from an increase of graphic design projects for wedding invitations. I still own and operate Ruffled Paper today in Schuylkill Haven, PA.

Over the years, my design styles have evolved. I've focused on branding, publishing, social media and small web design. I've won several design awards and have worked with everyone from large corporations, celebrities and the shop down the street. 

A born and raised Jersey girl, I now reside in rural Pennsylvania on a lake with my husband and step-son.
