Reviews
What do past clients think?
She listened closely to my presentation, then zeroed-in on the most impactful changes I could make. I walked away with a clear direction forward and the motivation to pull it off.
— Sarah Caplan, UX Researcher
She’s warm, thoughtful, and affable… like you’re talking to an old friend. I highly recommend working with Jess for anyone looking to improve their storytelling abilities!
— Christine Sheller, SVP Experience Research & Design
My main concern was that I wouldn’t get my money’s worth if I enrolled for virtual coaching. In the end though, I can confidently say that every penny that I spent was worth it.
— Newton Llorente, Designer
How it works
We’ll meet twice a month through Zoom and check in between sessions on Slack. I’ll share reflection questions, templates, and examples to make the process easy and inspiring. I’ll provide a clear structure with a balance of accountability and flexibility to fit a busy schedule. And I’ll give actionable feedback that is kind and encouraging to help you reach your goals.
