Jess Gilliam is a creative director and artist based in Los Angeles.
She studied Visual Communications at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising and has over a decade of experience driving creative direction in digital media.
In her art, she enjoys working across a range of mediums but is particularly captivated by working with recycled paper materials – turning "trash" into something magical and new. She loves creating playful characters and is currently working on her first children’s book.
She loves dogs, party supplies, anthropomorphic objects, vintage treasures, puppets, and her favorite day of the year is Halloween.
She runs an online shop - dancingwithcats.shop
