Hi, I’m Jess!
I’m an Executive Producer with twenty years of international experience working in Droga5 Dublin (formally Rothco), Publicis Dublin, BBDO Dublin and TBWA/Ireland.
During that time I’ve been part of multiple award winning teams who’s work has been credited at Cannes Lions, D&AD, One Show, Clios, Effies, The Kinsale Shark Awards and ICAD, delivering impactful campaigns for celebrated Irish and International brands including Allied Irish Banks, Dublin Simon Community, E.B.S, Heineken, White Claw Hard Seltzer, Dublin Bus, Woodies, Daintree Paper, The Electoral Commission and O.N.E. (Organisation of National Ex-Service Personnel). I’m especially proud of my work on “A Shred of Decency”, “Sleeping Flags” and “Saylists”.
In 2019, I co-founded ‘Good Cop, Good Cop’, a collective who use our creative brains for good and have produced films for Amnesty International and Together for Yes. In December of that year I published our first children’s picture book, ‘How Will Santa Find Us?’, the story of a family made homeless during Christmas week. The book was a bestseller raising over €80,000 for the homeless charity, Focus Ireland.
In 2020 I harnessed my curiosity for people and big ideas on a special design project aiding lone workers and was accredited as an Inventor by the European Patient Office for my role in developing an Intelligent Safety System.
I was born and raised in Dublin where I still live with my husband Owen and two boys, Theo and Hugo.
