About Jessica Grady

Hey there, I am Jess!I have a strong background and passion for graphic design and social media marketing, which I developed through my education and work experience. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Graphic Design and Social Media Marketing from Bradley University, where I learned the fundamentals and best practices of design, communication, and marketing. At Bradley, I worked as a campus manager and director for University Tees, a custom apparel company, where I managed a team of sales representatives, oversaw the production and distribution of orders, and created promotional campaigns and materials for the campus market. My junior year I was hired as a graphic design intern and in my senior year I was a seasonal production artist for University Tees and designed t-shirts for multiple organizations. I have experience working as a graphic designer for First Hospitality, a leading hospitality group that operates Hilton, Hyatt, and Marriott hotels. There, I designed and produced various print and digital materials for the 12 food and beverage outlets, such as menus, flyers, posters, banners, and social media posts. I also created collateral material for the 45 hotels in the portfolio. I love being able to see my design work in action and come to life.Side note it would be my absolute dream would be to compete on the CBS TV show Big Brother - so if you have a connection PLEASE let me know. But for real, I\'m actually serious about this :)
