Hi, I’m Jess, a passionate entrepreneur chasing movement in physical, visual and mechanical forms. In the spaces where disciplines collide, my contrasting passions for contemporary dance, photography and motorsports fuel a healthy creative balance!
I grew up in the beautiful landscape of Gippsland, Victoria where my love for dance, photography and motorsport ignited. I have been fortunate to travel across Australia chasing the passion and diversity of these disciplines, creating lifelong memories along the way.
Whilst I primarily reside in Melbourne, I am fortunate to spend much of the year travelling across Australia. Dancing with inspiring artists in beautiful landscapes, capturing moments from the studio to off-road, and chasing the adrenaline of motorsport at every turn creates a perpetual amount of excitement in my life!
I have a bubbly and enthusiastic personality, mixed in with a high level of organisation. Thinking creatively is not only a skill for me, but a passion!
If you are looking to create something but are unsure how to start, then you are in the right place. I would love the opportunity to introduce myself, learn about you and create some magic together!
Welcome to Jessica’s world
LET’S CONNECT AND CREATE !
