I’m Jess Thompson, a graphic designer and content creator based on the Gold Coast, with experience across branding, marketing, and digital design. I love taking an idea or piece of content and turning it into polished visuals that feel creative, purposeful, and aligned with the overall brand—whether that’s social media content, digital campaigns, EDMs, or website assets. Alongside static design, I enjoy bringing work to life through motion graphics and video, particularly for social platforms where engagement matters. I’m detail-oriented, comfortable working independently while managing multiple projects and deadlines, and I value clear collaboration with stakeholders and feedback throughout the design process to deliver on-brand outcomes.
