I’m Jessica.
I believe stories have the power to expand our world – the power to expand what you think is possible. We loved bed time stories as kids because they expanded our world.
As a deaf and hard of hearing person, the idea of me being able to assimilate into the hearing world was not conceivable by most, but there were powerful stories along the way that expanded my world and showed me what was possible.
As an Art Director/ Content Creator, I bring brands into the conversation by harnessing my creative energy as an artist, turning ad campaigns into multimedia installations and using social media as a language to tell relatable, engaging stories.
I’m currently learning how to leverage the platforms and followings of these brands to call attention to what truly matters. And one day, I imagine myself starting a conversation about inclusivity, self-advocacy, and empowerment of people with disabilities.
