About Jessica
I'm a creative problem-solver who sees the bigger picture and knows how to bring it to life. I combine design, development, and digital strategy to turn ideas into thoughtful experiences, bridging the gap between what an organization wants to accomplish and what it takes to get there.
My experience spans higher education and church ministry, with a background in leading creative initiatives, building digital products, and translating complex requirements into practical solutions. I enjoy connecting the bigger picture with the details that make an experience work.
Career
My career began in higher education, where I grew from a student worker rendering a parking map into web development, UX, and leadership roles. Along the way, I managed web operations across 24 departments and led UX, CMS, accessibility, and digital modernization efforts.
Today, I work at 9 Embers, where I design and develop experiences within Rock RMS for churches and ministry organizations. Within my first year of learning Rock, I helped develop multiple reusable products, including a website theme and Rock Mobile app package. My work also includes managing website retainers, leading client conversations, mapping workflows and processes, supporting sales, designing website experiences, and contributing to branding and marketing strategy.
