Hi, my name is Jess. I am a designer with a goal to improve the quality of life of people and the environment. I graduated from Parsons School of Design's MFA Industrial Design Program and am currently working as a Designer in NY. 

 

Early in school I was captivated by the perspectives designers gained for a project through research and imagination. And how they used that to achieve a holistic view of design directives, limits, and possibilities. Throughout my graduate studies, I further diversified my design skillset and developed a passion for sustainability. This has led me to found Le Motif Design studio, where I experiment with biomaterials within a home product perspective. 

​

I realize real world needs but also research connections for areas of overlap where needs and desires can be met to go beyond the user's expectations. I create products that question the expectations of the product's traditional use but add value by meeting the user's lifestyle needs. 

​

If you have questions or want to collaborate with me, please feel free to reach out.
