Jessica Lee

Jessica Lee left the Manchester School of Art in 2022 with graphic design and a cheerful line: food, nature, dogs, and everyday rooms that want company. Murals, packaging, branding, and a Skinnydip London phone case collection followed.

Lee's journey in the creative field has been significantly influenced by her imagination and the support from the community. She emphasizes the importance of networking, which has led to collaborations with other artists like Jade Bern and Mat Voyce. Her advice for aspiring illustrators is to start creating, build a portfolio, and not to compare oneself to others. She also stresses the importance of social media for self-promotion, as it has been a key factor in her career, helping her secure clients and opportunities. Lee's positive social media presence and her ability to maintain a creative flow through personal projects have been instrumental in her success. Her work shows what imagination and a supportive network can still do.
