About
Hi, I'm Jess! Born and raised by the seaside in Kent, I’m a calligrapher and illustrator with a passion for creating colourful artwork and sharing my creativity through workshops.
From the moment I put pencil to paper I've wanted to draw. From the ripe age of 4 I have fond memories spending rainy days with my mum, Wendy doing something creative. We’d often make things together, make trips to the Early Learning Centre or follow along to Art Attack on the TV. Those memories sparked a lifelong love for creativity which hasn't stopped.
Sadly, my mum passed away in April 2024 after losing her battle with secondary breast cancer. This loss has given me a new perspective on life, encouraging me to embrace my true self, lean into my unique style, and remember where my creativity first began.
I love working with different mediums and often collecting new tools. However I pride myself in having in depth knowledge of the ink, paints, and materials, which has given me the opportunity to work on a wide variety of projects—from hand-painting signage to creating watercolour florals. You’ll often find me covered in some kind of paint, as I’m frequently carting around various paint pens and tools for on-site work.
Over the years, I’ve collaborated with 350 couples, 150 businesses, and taught over 400 students in workshops across Kent, at festivals, and in corporate offices. Some of my favourite recent projects include crafting hand-painted signage for Glastonbury Festival’s craft village and teaching tote bag painting workshops at Fearne Cotton’s Happy Place Festival over the 2024 summer.
With seven years of experience, I’ve developed a flexible style that adapts to suit your unique vision and brand identity. Whether it’s live calligraphy, bespoke signage, or creative workshops, I take pride in adding thoughtful, hand-crafted details that leave a lasting impression.
Based in the South East and London, I’m excited to collaborate on projects that bring creativity, joy, and a personal touch to your events or brand.
