HI! I’M JESSIE.

I love too many things.

I’ve been told many times to stick to one thing, and believe me, I’ve tried. But I get too excited at the prospect of making something (no matter the medium). I enjoy the challenge of trying new things!

I no longer want to pack my interests away just because the world has told me to “niche down”, so throw whatever you’ve got at me and let’s make something together!

GET TO KNOW ME!
