A graduate of Washington University in St. Louis with a dual major in Marketing and Graphic Communications, Jessica has spent 20+ years crafting and telling brand stories for international conglomerates like the YMCA, Pentair and Sephora – as well as homegrown staples like the Milwaukee Brewers and Mitchell Airport.
She began her career with advertising powerhouses DDB (NYC) and C-K (Milwaukee). Prior to going out on her own, she spent more than a decade at a full-service boutique agency in Walker’s Point. Her professional accomplishments include many national accolades.
Her high standards, creativity, quick wit and breadth of experience has allowed Jessica to craft effective, strategic solutions for decades. Since launching Her & Himsel at the end of 2016, Jessica has amassed a list of steady of clients both locally and nationally, including NARI Milwaukee, Pentair, Discover Magazine (Kalmbach), Lakeside Development Companies and YMCAs (through a partnership with a fundraising development firm).
Jessica was recently honored as a “Woman of Significance” in Milwaukee’s creative community. She currently serves on the Board of Directors for Step Beyond Green to Healthy and the Executive Strategic Marketing Committee for Catholic Memorial High School. Excited to give back, she is actively involved in supporting the next generation of Milwaukee professionals by being a Coach and Advisor for The Commons (an entrepreneurial skills accelerator) and a volunteer portfolio reviewer for AIGA Wisconsin.
Born and raised in Milwaukee, Jessica has also spent time living in St. Louis and NYC. Her Midwestern roots keep her grounded, her adventures keep her inspired. A mother of three, she loves taking road trips with her family. When not working or playing with her kids, she can be found improvising recipes, gardening hardy perennials and interjecting fun wherever possible.
