Hi! My name is Jessica Sipe and I am a Graphic Designer for a printing and design firm in Central Pennsylvania. Since graduating from Indiana University of Pennsylvania in 2005, I have had the pleasure to do what I love... create works of printed art.
I grew up in suburban Harrisburg, PA and with the guidance of a high school teacher, I knew that I wanted to study the field of communications media. It wasn't until a month or so into the first semester of my freshman year of college that I found a true passion, graphic design. From that moment on, I totally switched gears and studied all things under the umbrella of graphic design, including taking any and all courses on the subject!
After college, I accepted an internship with a local recreation company as a creative intern. While working there, the director and I developed a marketing campaign entitled "Creating Moments of Fun and a Lifetime of Happiness." In March of 2007, this campaign won us the "Agency Publication & Promotion Award" which was awarded by the Pennsylvania Recreation & Park Society!
Also, while interning at the recreation commission, I spent a lot of time with the printing and graphics firm that created the commission's seasonal recreation guide. After working closely with the art director there, she decided to hire me as a graphic designer! Since then, the recreation commission has become one of my closest clients! (a sample of the recreation guide can be found under my portfolio tab.)
Since accepting the position as a graphic designer in 2005, I have been living and loving my career! We live in a world where styles change constantly and fresh images are always in demand. Professionals in every field, especially advertising and graphic design, must be aware of these changes and possess the flexibility and imagination to stay ahead of the trends.
