Jessica graduated from The Ohio State University with a Bachelor of Arts in Strategic Communication. While pursuing her degree, she acquired a vast knowledge of marketing and public relations which sparked her passion for branding. Her own personal interests in fashion styling and photography shaped her career focus.
Jessica began her career as an on-figure stylist at the Abercrombie & Fitch home office in Columbus, Ohio; her previous in-house employers also include Express and Aéropostale. Jessica has spent the last few years establishing herself as a freelance stylist and photo art director in New York, NY. She has recently relocated to LA, but still maintains a strong NYC presence as well.
Her experience, working both on a freelance and in-house level, has helped her to develop a dual perspective as both a stylist and art director. This perspective allows her to connect with her clients to better understand their specific brand needs and consistently deliver elevated imagery and/or product styling. Additionally, she has had success in managing both styling and other studio teams in photo shoot preparation, production, and execution. She builds and utilizes strong cross-functional partnerships with her own and other on-set teams to create an enjoyable, efficient, and comfortable on-set experience for all. Jessica’s background has provided her with a thorough understanding of garment fit and movement (both on and off model), lighting, talent casting, posing, concept development, and brand voice.
Jessica has a range of clients that utilize her skills for e’commerce, social/lifestyle, soft goods, and campaign styling giving her a variety of experience with both studio and location photo shoots.
