Branding, Graphic Design & Creative Services
Let’s help people see you. You might know what you want to say, but not how to say it. I offer branding, graphic design, marketing content, and writing services for businesses and organizations that want to show up where it matters.
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.
How I work
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.
How I can help 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. Whether you're starting from scratch, refreshing something that's gotten a little stale, or just need an extra set of creative hands, I can meet you where you are.
Choose a starting point below, or reach out if you're not quite sure what you need yet. Most projects can be customized to fit your goals, and flexible payment options are always available for larger projects.

Don’t need a whole project?
Sometimes you just need a second opinion, some direction, or help figuring out what to do next. My Office Hours give you one-on-one time to talk through design, branding, marketing, or whatever creative problem you’re trying to solve.
Sessions start at $35.
Flexible Payments
Not every business or solo professional has the cash immediately on hand for big projects - even if they need them.
Because of that, I now offer flexible ways to pay, especially for bigger projects and small businesses.
-
For larger projects, we can split your total into scheduled payments linked to different stages of the project. We’ll agree on the schedule before work begins, so you’ll always know exactly what’s due and when.
-
If you like smaller payments more, eligible clients can use available pay-over-time options to break up the cost of a project into easy chunks. This might be easier than paying the full amount upfront.
-
If you want to keep things simple, you can always pay your total upfront using one of my usual payment methods.
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.
-
I accept ACH, most major cards, and in very limited cases, Zelle. I also accept and can create payment plans if needed.
-
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.
-
Yup! Flexible payment options are available for most larger projects (that includes scheduled project payments and eligible pay-over-time options. We’ll go over what’s available before your project starts).
I 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!
