It’s me, Tess!
I have a rich background with diverse experiences.
I'm lucky I get to design my life around what I love to do: be creative and help others.
I wear a couple of hats: Social Worker and Designer. My background is working with children and communities, but my passion for pursing a career as a creative has always been a part of who I am. After I got my Master's Degree in Social Work, I decided go back to school and explore Graphic Design.
My journey into website design started when an acquaintance asked, "Do you think you could design a website for me?" She was a small business owner. Thrilled and fresh out of design school I replied, "Sure! I can try." And the rest is history.
I started by doing work for people I know, and from them, I got referrals. I'm learning a lot and have loved every minute of this journey. I love working for myself!
Based in the midwest, I live with my partner and my dogs. When I'm not working, I enjoy my quiet time and especially my new hobby. Ceramics!
Creating things with my hands is my true passion. Over the summer of 2023 I decided it was finally time to indulge this and learn pottery. It’s been a rewarding journey learning to throw at the wheel and hand building small pieces for my home or just for fun!
When I’m not at the pottery studio, you’ll find me diving into audiobooks and true crime podcasts. I’m also a proud Canadian; a super fan of The Office TV show; and dedicated journal writer.
Lastly, I’m an introvert and Gemini who loves to move - walking outside and learning new dance choreography makes me come alive! Practicing Yoga and mediation keep me centered, and Pilates keeps me strong!
Cheers,
