Jess Adams is a graphic designer and illustrator based in Melbourne, Australia, whose work lives joyfully at the intersection of cute, spooky, weird, and a little chaotic. Working full time as a graphic designer, Jess uses illustration as a creative escape—a space where rules dissolve and imagination takes the lead.

All of Jess’s artwork is created digitally, a medium that gives her the freedom to experiment endlessly with styles, textures, and techniques. This flexibility allows her to push creative boundaries while maintaining a playful, expressive approach to illustration. Her designs are energetic and exploratory, often blending dark or eerie elements with sweetness, humor, and unexpected charm.

Jess describes illustration as her opportunity to break away from structure and pour unfiltered creativity into her work. She embraces experimentation and visual storytelling, letting curiosity guide the process rather than perfection. The result is artwork that feels lively, spontaneous, and full of personality—pieces that invite viewers to lean in, smile, and discover something new each time they look.

Through her illustrations, Jess celebrates creative freedom and the joy of making art simply for the love of it. Her work resonates with those drawn to imagery that is playful yet offbeat, polished yet delightfully strange—proof that design doesn’t always have to behave — in collaboration with DenimINK.
