Jessica has been freelancing for over 10 years. Carving her own work environment has brought opportunities, challenges and perspectives. But most of all, meaningful connections with beautiful community spaces!
Jessica has a deep love for design. Her espresso-fuelled craft is combined with an underlying passion for disabled spaces. Now specializing in accessibility and representation for everyone. Based in Canada, she collaborates to empower communities. And has had the privilege of working alongside incredible groups across the globe.
When not obsessing over typefaces, Jess gets involved in disability-focused campaigns. From The Disabled Life with her sister to Intimately Disabled with dear friends. As well as volunteering in design spaces. She is in the dream phase of Access Design Collective. In hopes we can all learn from disabled creatives one interview at a time.
