Commercial, award-winning graphic designer, Jess has worked across a broad set of industries. With experience in creative strategy, editorial design, print, packaging, brand design, and art direction, she has worked on clients within luxury fashion to motorsports to health and wellness.
Starting her career at Burberry, Jess has since done freelance stints at Liberty’s and Stella McCartney before moving onto yet another Royal Warrant holder, Mount Street Printers. Here is where she honed her passion for print, leading on clients like luxury events company Lanza & Baucina, Evgeny Lebedev’s Private Office, Coast, and even the Royal Family. Her next steps saw her moving into the licensing space, becoming design lead on CAA’s largest clients like Formula One, Playboy, Netflix, Crayola, and Bobcat.
Not limiting herself to the commercial grind, she was invited as guest speaker at the university she graduated from, Central Saint Martin’s. She was also asked to run a mentorship programme inspiring IB students at her high school in Jakarta, Indonesia where she grew up.
She now works at CBD startup, Tenacious Labs, on a broad roster of brands – from inception to implementation and beyond. She also regularly supports on the investment arm and Private Office that owns Tenacious Labs, Delarki.
