OWNER & DESIGNER
Jessica Lester 

Jess is a KC-based graphic designer with a heart for photography, typography, and all things small. Originally from Kansas City, Jess relocated to Chicago to receive a BFA in graphic design and eventually began her career working with agencies such as Tukaiz, The Locker Shop, and TwoxFour in Chicago's downtown loop. During more than five and half years in Chicago, her experience brought her to design a digital billboard for New York City's Times Square, a concessions cart for the 2013 NBA All-Star Game, a 2014 Kentucky Derby Suite Menu redesign, and work featured in Walgreens, Walmart, Menard's, Home Depot, and various retailers, vendors, and stadiums across the country. 

After relocating back to Kansas City in the fall of 2014, Sevenelle Creative began in May of 2015 as a name for Jess' freelance. Since launch, Sevenelle has participated as showing artist in multiple local art shows, including Liberty Arts Squared, UNPlaza Art Fair, among others. Sevenelle is an alumnus member of Cherry Pit Collective, a group of women artists, makers, and creatives in the heart of KC. 

Jess is happiest when she's creating, whether it's behind a camera lens, with a paintbrush, or baking in the kitchen. When she's not busy working on a project, she enjoys traveling, practicing yoga, singing karaoke, painting, and cuddling with her pets.
