Hello class!

My name is Jessica- I usually go by Jessie. I am from Spokane, WA and have live in Seattle now for almost five years. I have my bachelors in business management from Washington State University (Go Cougs!), and have worked in the wine marketing and events industry since I graduated a few years back. I fell in love with the wine industry while studying abroad in Italy, but sadly, the Washington industry doesn't have the same allure that it did in Italy. Insert the Art Institute here. 

My puppy, Leo

My interests include playing with my dog, practicing yoga and hiking in the outdoors, but quite honestly I spend any of my free time between work and school watching too much Netflix. 

I am currently an Event and Marketing Assistant at Fremont Foundry Events, and love my job and coworkers. I am able to help create beautiful events and am able to work with amazing clients. 

Honestly, the reason I chose graphic design was because I wanted to dive into a field where I could be more creative in the marketing industry- trying to run away from those numbers and figures. Now that I have had more experience exploring design, I am trying to find where I want to end up in this crazy adult world. But I figure having an extra degree can't hurt my chances at this point in figuring it all out!
