Let’s help people see you.

You might know what you want to say, but not how to say it. My job is to take your detailed outline (or just your pile of Post-it notes) and help you say what you want to say - the way you want to say it.

If you’re looking for the type of designer who will pop up after 3 weeks with a finished product - I’m not the right fit. I ask questions. I show you options. I ask you for decisions. I ask for your thoughts.

This is a team process. Yes, I’m the creative expert, but you’re the expert on your business or idea. I’m creating with you.

Maybe you're starting from the very bottom or building onto an existing brand; I offer everything from one-off design projects to complete visual identity systems. I even offer consultations if you just need some design advice or to see if you’re on the right track.

Choose the level of support that works best for what you need right now.

Common Questions

  • Quite fun actually! I am an expert, but I treat you equally. We’re partners, and although I’ll make informed suggestions, the final decision is yours.

    I’m very good at listening AND hearing what people say, and I'm honest, but also kind.

    Even though I’m professional I’m also very candid and you can have real talk with me.

  • Of course! You don’t have to know everything or have a fully baked idea before we work together. A lot of creative work is helping to flesh out ideas and help people put the pieces together.

  • You can reach me any time through my contact page. I try to reply to emails within the same day or the next, but rarely it will take up to three days. You can also email me directly at jesshartist@gmail.com.

  • Typically, I prefer to accept Zelle, but I’m happy to work with you if you have a method that you prefer.

  • Typically I take your ideas and give you multiple options upfront. This helps narrow down ideas and gives us a place to work from. Starting this way cuts down on the amount of back-and-forth and keeps the project from taking too long.

  • Typically, I do not, but I’m flexible and more than happy to work something out.

    I’m also like to trade services and barter on occasion, so let’s talk and maybe we can get creative.

  • Respectfully, if you like what that designer does, you should hire them. I’m very upfront about what I can do and what I offer. If that doesn’t work for you, then we’re not a good fit.

  • I do! I offer training and help with most Adobe programs. I also offer mentoring and counseling for current or future design students.

  • Usually, no. I work with people all over the world and have built my work around being fully remote.

    Now, if someone insists on meeting in person, I hope they have their checkbook ready!

  • I like projects of all kinds (being open has led to some GREAT random projects). For clients, I tend to work best with clients who are open to feedback, confident in making decisions, and who are open-minded.

  • Hopefully everything you’ve seen so far has given you a clear picture of who I am, how I work, and what I can do. I’m serious and highly skilled when it comes to my work, but as a person I’m goofy and love shenanigans. I’m very fun to work with, and our time together will be a RIDE…in a good way!
