Hello, I’m Jessica. Welcome to here but also there.


I’m a 30-something creative strategist and writer who used to lead content and social at fast-growing startups. Now, I work with creative entrepreneurs to shape clear, grounded brand voices and bring their ideas to life through editorial direction and content consulting. More about that here.

This newsletter is my own creative playground. I share city guides, essays on self and place, snapshots of in-between moments, and reflections from living with intention.

Here’s what you’ll find each month:

  • City guides and essays on identity, creative work, and what it means to want more

  • How she got here interviews with thoughtful women building creative, layered lives

  • Monthly roundups, aka what I’m reading, watching, listening to, and lusting over

Subscribe if you want a little escape. Or a reminder that there’s magic in making your own way.
