About
Hello Beauty.
I'm Jess
Welcome to my chaos! I am not your typical web designer. I spent the last 15 years as a hairstylist, I started a company called Beauty and Whiskey. Then the pandemic hit and we were all without work. As someone who doesn't sit still very well, I started a candle company in my kitchen with a focus on healthy products and sustainability called Hopps and Honey and our first sales were from Facebook. My 6 year old at that time and I made door to door drops offs of candle orders we sold because we didn't have an online presence- yet. We currently have sales country wide and I am very proud of that. I expanded my knowledge to web design and branding for our businesses, obviously, but it was never a career option for me until I broke some fingers on my dominate hand and had our second son, Atreus. My second pregnancy was pretty rough and our little man ended up in the NICU for 8 days, the months following, I developed severe anxiety, panic attacks, and agoraphobia. Making it very hard to go into work. The universe was telling me to pivot. So, I listened and started looking into remote options. I started taking courses on web design and now specialize in working with high-performing female brands with a emphasis on bold, vintage, sexy, and edgy design and couldn't be happier!
Hopps and Honey
This was a passion project of mine. I love starting from scratch and seeing things evolve over time, making the necessary tweaks then everything just clicks. and in your brain you hear "oh yea that looks right." Brands should be ever evolving to accommodate the growth of your target client or customer. Everything from colors, fonts, voice, awareness and web design was in my hands and I loved every second of it.

Beauty and Whiskey
This was a site rebrand for my hair business, we needed a new logo, color palette, and of course site. I switched platforms as well from Wix to Showit for the flexibility to be more creative. I wanted something with a little more edge to it, nothing was wrong with my site before but it was time for an upgrade for sure! When you know, you know!

Carly's Farm
I wanted to create a brand and site that was something dear to my heart, I love businesses with a story and nobody has a better story that a Mom just trying to the right thing for her kiddos. This brand shows a softer side to more normal designs. There isn't the edge that is normally present but I still love the depth and layers of her story. The subtle integration of her logo doesn't take away from her true message which I adore.

DJ Lyric, Musician
This gorgeous pop of color really emphasized the brands diversity in color and pattern, a true break for me but I absolutely loved integrating her vintage tones with the music element. Her site was one of kind, just like her. When designing brands and sites I really look at the person I'm working with, their day to day life, what they wear, what their go to colors are, how music and art effect their creativity.
