Meet the Designer

Hi, I’m Jess. (Full name Jessica E. Smith, hence JES Designs.) Yes, my initials spell my name. And, yes, it's totally awesome.

I’m a graphic designer living in Ellicott City, Md. I have a master of arts in graphic design from the University of Baltimore and a bachelor’s in journalism from the University of Maryland. I work as a senior graphic designer at my alma mater—Go Terps!

The creative part of my brain never seems to shut off. I’m a pottery lover and a wannabe farmer/horticulturist. When I’m not working on a design project, I can be found at my local ceramic arts center covered in clay, or messing around with plants in some fashion, usually covered in dirt.

Home Sweet Home

Located conveniently between Baltimore, Md., and Washington, D.C., JES Designs is based out of Ellicott City, Md.
