As a small business owner, I know firsthand how challenging it can be to juggle every aspect of your business while trying to stand out in a crowded marketplace. It’s not just about offering great products or services — it’s about creating a brand that resonates with your audience, builds trust, and reflects the passion and dedication you put into your work. That’s where I come in. I truly believe that great design has the power to transform a business, elevate its message, and connect with customers on a deeper level.
My passion for design isn’t just about making things look pretty; it’s about telling a story — your story — in a way that captures attention, sparks curiosity, and drives sales. I love working with small businesses like yours because I see the potential you have to make a big impact, and I know how powerful the right design can be in helping you reach that potential. Whether you’re looking for a brand refresh, eye-catching marketing materials, or a user-friendly website, I’m here to help you create a visual identity that speaks to your customers and gives you the confidence to grow.

That’s why I chose to center my branding around the idea of a picnic. A picnic isn’t just about the food; it's about the planning, the gathering, and the enjoyment of everything coming together. It's a collaborative experience, where everyone plays a part in making it special. Just like hosting, I want to create a space where we can plan your brand together, building something meaningful and authentic that reflects the heart of your business. And once we’ve put in the work, we get to enjoy the fruits of our labor, seeing your brand thrive and connect with your audience in the most genuine way possible. Let’s sit down, share ideas, and create something beautiful — like a picnic, it’s all about enjoying the process and celebrating the result.
Hosting has always been a true passion of mine, and it's not just about gathering people together — it's about creating an experience, building connections, and sharing meaningful moments. I love the energy that comes from bringing people together in a space where they can relax, enjoy one another's company, and create memories. Whether it's the warmth of conversation, the joy of shared laughter, or the satisfaction of seeing others enjoy something you've carefully planned, hosting is about creating a sense of belonging and making people feel at home. It's this same philosophy that shapes how I approach my design work — with an emphasis on connection, care, and collaboration.

Artist. Designer. Jess. Those are just a few titles I go by. My most used title is “...hey mom” (if you know, you know). With having two boys- it has turned into “Brah” or “Dude”.
Why the name Hudson & B? Hudson & Brayden are my boys, my WHY. I have been a Freelance Graphic Designer for 15+ years. In that time, I learned I have a passion for small businesses and using my talent to help them grow!
I can't wait to work with you!
If I am not at my desk designing, you will probably find me at a sporting event with my family or swimming in our backyard. We have two dogs, an English Bulldog (my shadow) and a German Shepherd. When I need a break from the digital world, you can find me renovating our 40 year old home that we recently purchased right outside of Columbus, Ohio.
I stayed home to raise our boys for ten years — during that time I found myself NEEDING to do something creative. I started this business shortly after our first son was born to allow me to raise them and still do what I love, create. In that timeframe is when I found my passion for small businesses. Real people who own real businesses with real struggles. I want to help, I am a problem solver. If I can use my gift of creativity to help your business stand out in a crowd and grow, that is where I am most happy!
