About Me

Hi, my name is Jess. Jessica, if you need to be technical, but you don’t, so call me Jess. I was born December 3 in 1993, and since the number ’3′ has haunted my life. I have always lived in Sydney, and in two homes. One for over 17 years now, the other only temporarily. My mother is a mix of Polish and British, my father is a Polish immigrant. I also have a younger brother who’s nearly 3 years younger.

I went to two primary schools between the ages of 5 – 12, one small Catholic school, and one slightly larger Catholic school. Do not, however, confuse me with a practising Catholic. As a kid, I did a lot of stuff; dancing for about 7 years, tennis for 8, drama for maybe 2, netball for 1. I was never class president or anything extraordinary, I was just a kid.

Up until now I’ve been at a all-girls public high school. Boy, have I been a typical teenager. Yes, I had an emo phase. Yes, I had the ‘everyone thinks I’m a lesbian’ phase. Yes, I had the ultra dork phase. Parts of those phases still linger – for example my love for Star Wars or Harry Potter or Underoath or black skinny jeans – but I like to think with age I’ve evened out and dropped the phase thing all together. Seeing as I’m still a teenager I can’t comment to much, but I know I was embarrassing.

From here, the only defining factor of my being besides my past is my present and future. And that present and future is governed by an utmost passion and thrive for design and art. The one thing that I live for is the creation of beauty, the stillness of motion, the contradictories and the complimentaries of being. To visually, artistically, imaginatively express the paradoxes of life, to create a object or something to look at, to be, that is everything to me. To manifest it into soemthing aesthetically outstanding like art, or subconsciously manipulative like design has been the one goal in life I have been studying for, for how many years its been in school, for how many hours its been in my room.

I just love that so much, and have so much passion.

There is so much I used to take to including in these things. What movies I like, what bands I like, what clothing style inspires me the most, whatever. To be honest, it wouldn’t matter what I wrote here. It doesn’t define or give any insight into anything deeper than what you’ll find on my ipod. I have oddities, I have habits, I have tendencies. I could give you odd details about each morning or where I’d like to be in 10 years.

But it doesn’t matter.

Sometimes things said stick with me. Sometimes they don’t. But I think this is probably the most fitting thing I could end this ‘bio’ with.

In the mecca of us, we all glow forever.
