SPEAKER:


Jessica Maniatis, CEO + Creative Director of JSGD
Jessica opened JSGD in 2008 with a mission to make beautiful, functional design accessible to those passionate about making a difference within their industry. She has since worked with clients the world over, developing solutions that not only help them stand out, but give them the confidence to take their brand to the next step.

Jessica was featured in Improper Bostonian’s Redesigning Boston, as part of an effort to engage local designers and architects to reimagine elements of Boston’s built environment.
