I had the pleasure of managing Jessica for the past three and a half years. As a senior designer on our in-house Creative team Jessica consistently demonstrated exceptional design work, strategic thinking and a collaborative spirit that elevated every project she touched. Jessica's work spanned platforms and mediums, from projects big and small. She took ownership of her work, took design feedback well, and was regularly part of the proofing and feedback loop for projects she owned and in support of more junior designers. I can not recommend Jessica more. She is a true gem of a human and designer. Hire her!

Working with Jessica was a great privilege. Her teamwork and expertise were invaluable to our success on many projects. She consistently went above and beyond, volunteering for additional assignments and always striving to elevate every initiative she touched. Jessica’s curiosity and commitment to excellence meant that her contributions were not only insightful but also meticulously crafted. Her positive attitude was contagious, inspiring the team and providing clear creative leadership—especially as she led the design for some of our largest industry and internal events. In short, Jessica embodies the kind of colleague everyone hopes to have: talented, driven, and a true team player.

Jessica is one of those rare graphic designers who is fast, creative and very good at what she does. It’s tough to find that all in one easy-to-work-with package, but with Jessica that’s what you get. She also makes me laugh at least once a day - something true creatives know is a must when those big deadlines loom.

I had the privilege to know and work with Jessica for several years at Black Bear, and was always so impressed by her ability to accept new challenges and thrive under a very stressful, demanding workload. Her demonstrated ability to navigate a business environment with constantly changing priorities and competing personalities is a testament to her professionalism, but more importantly, her talent, keen design eye, and motivation to deliver excellence made her an invaluable resources to my team. She pulled us through some truly narrow escapes with flying colors. All that aside, she's an ally and dedicated teammate, and I'm grateful to have worked with her and learned from her.

When Jessica first joined Black Bear design I was her manager in the graphic design department. Her designs were classic, clean, professional, and perfect for our B2B clients. She was adept at seeking out/understanding the goals a client wanted to achieve with each piece. She always met her deadlines, multi-tasked effortlessly, and always stayed within the time budgets for her many projects. Jessica eventually became our lead web developer. As a graphic designer and now developer, she is a true unicorn in our business. She works with the clients one-on-one to set expectations, wireframing and design, execution, and often messaging. She is a major reason Black Bear Design’s web services are one of the highest-ranked in Atlanta. Personally, she is an amazing team member. Professionally, you’ll be hard-pressed to find anyone better. I can’t recommend Jessica more.
