Who is Nessie?

Hi, I’m Jeanessa, aka Nessie! I found my passion for surface pattern design while taking fashion school night classes, and I’ve been obsessed ever since. Based in Portland, OR, I am endlessly inspired by the city’s flourishing arts scene and quirky aesthetic.

My art style gravitates to bold and playful motifs that include a mixture of hand-rendered textures and digital illustrations. My favorite traditional media are inks and watercolor, while Adobe Fresco and Procreate are my go-to programs for digital painting and drawing.
