Glowing Reviews from some wonderful customers...

"Jess is wonderful at what she does! We have used her for card design, window displays and team work hops and have always been incredibly happy. She is always a delight to work with, and is wonderfully talented. Highly recommended!"

"Absolutely wonderful in every way. Jess is so incredibly talented, welcoming and a fabulous teacher- I would recommend her workshops to anyone wanting a lovely night and to learn a new skill."

JESKA, Summer 2024

"Her style, attention to detail and creativity is off the charts and having her create some signs for our wedding day brought some extra flair to the day. She hand draws everything, which is incredible and is friendly, professional and quick to respond."
