Hi there! My name is Jess (he/him), I'm an illustrator and visual green thumb. As an illustrator, I enjoy marrying strong concepts with engaging imagery. And I’m excited by taking on tough topics like politics and social justice, or creating visual interest for dry business and financial projects. I feel confident in my ability to execute a variety of projects, from editorial and portraiture, to publishing, and poster work, in a timely and friendly manner.

Let’s grow something together!

I was born and raised in Chicago, educated at California College of the Arts in the Bay Area. I’m currently based in Queens, NY with my wife Heather, dog Pepper, cat Stevie Nicks, and an assortment of plants.

Clients include: The New York Times, Barron’s, The Washington Post, Politico Europe, Audible, The New Statesman, Vice, The Scientist, Houstonia, The Intercept, Phoenix Magazine, Poetry Foundation, Phoenix New Times, Dallas Observer, Bureau of Investigative Journalism, Education Week, Reveal News, Seven Days, Franciscan Media, VinePair, Inverse, Noema Magazine, Morning Brew, SKEPTIC, Chronicle of Higher Education, Financial Edge, Elephant, and more!
