I'm Jessica McDonald, a multidisciplinary designer based in Enniskerry, Wicklow. I focus on creating striking, narrative-led visuals across print, digital design, and physical objects, with an emphasis on adaptability, problem-solving, and production-led workflows. I draw inspiration from film, video games, music, and the natural world, and I bring curiosity and a meticulous eye for detail to every project. I love spending time outdoors and sharing my time with my three dogs. Outside work, I’m an avid outdoors enthusiast who enjoys hiking and exploring nature. I value collaboration, continuous learning, and curiosity, and I thrive in fast-paced environments where I can bring energy and creativity to client and internal campaigns.
