Hi, I'm Jess! Owner of JMJdesigns, a small design studio traveling around the world
Graphic design, illustration and styling form my core business. In my work I combine craftsmanship and new technologies, searching for the perfect balance within my products.

WHAT I DO
Graphic Design
The majority of my work consists of designing logos, business cards, flyers, posters, and other corporate design products.
Illustration
Speaking of true passion! Ever since I was a wee little gal I drew my heart out on every piece of paper I could find. And when there was no paper I just drew on the walls (Sorry, mom <3!). Now I take my drawings to the next level with an expertise in Digital Vector Art, Ink illustrations and Watercolour paintings.
Styling
New in business, but with my passion for fashion and large clothing collection this kind of work was meant to be for me!
