About
Hi there! My name is Jes and I am a 27-year-old graphic designer. I also dabble in photography, illustration, and website design. I'm currently studying Visual Design and am in the process of getting my Bachelor's degree.
I am bisexual and proud, and love being part of the LGBT+ community! I am also pretty obsessed with cats and hope to one day become a crazy old cat lady. I am a huge reader and have about a million favorite books, as well as a to-read pile just as large.
My website is currently under construction, but you can find me online at Facebook ( Facebook.com/JesWilsonDesign ), Instagram ( Instagram.com/JesWilsonDesign ), Behance ( Behance.net/JesWilsonDesign ), Ko-fi ( ko-fi.com/JesWilsonDesign ), and make sure to check out my RedBubble ( RedBubble.com/people/JesWilsonDesign ) so you can purchase some of my designs as prints, stickers, mugs, t-shirts, and more! Thanks for your support <3 -
