EXTENDED BIO…THE LONG VERSION

Jessica studied business and art history at Cornell University. After graduating, Jessica discovered her entrepreneurial spirit when working for a nation-wide non-profit run by Kimbal Musk, an experienced entrepreneur and board member of Tesla, SpaceX, Chipotle, and Solar City. At this non-profit, Jessica worked to bring healthy food and hands-on STEM programming to underserved youth.

Unexpectedly, Jessica had to leave this job in her late 20’s when an undiagnosed inflammatory disease caused irregular tissue growth around the base of her spine, leaving her bedridden. When she was unwell, Jessica spent a lot of time looking at white walls. This motivated her to create large art to brighten her bedroom and inspired her to launch her business.

Spending time in hospitals has challenged Jessica to be more thoughtful about her time and how she spends it. She feels a responsibility to be of service in the world. In an effort to make progress towards this goal, Jessica is currently studying Artificial Intelligence at Stanford (online) to understand how ML and AI can be applied to environmental and social challenges as well as creative work.
