Biography

Jessica, a taboo-breaking creative director and cartoonist, shatters societal norms with humor and authenticity. Her work sparks global conversations and drives positive societal change. She is the founder of Vanillacooldance, a cartoon and vibrant community of over 62,000. With a dash of sass and bold illustrations about sexuality, relationships, and the body, she empowers individuals to embrace their unapologetic selves and dismantle antiquated stigmas. Here no topic is off-limits, from period sex to egg freezing. Her superpower? Making uncomfortable subjects approachable, inviting all into the conversation for lasting change. From hijacking Amsterdam during King's Day with street art to #CloseTheOrgasmGap to protesting legal decisions in D.C., Jessica's art demands to be seen – think Banksy, with a sexy twist. As a freelancer, Jessica collaborates with purpose-driven brands, agencies and creatives, weaving social missions into culturally relevant campaigns for maximum impact.
