Multidisciplinary creative leader based in Philadelphia

Hey there, my name is Jess Benvenuto! I’m a Senior Manager of Design & Digital Production.

I love bringing ideas to life through thoughtful design and meaningful storytelling. Over the years, I’ve grown from a junior designer into a creative leader, but I’ve never lost the excitement of creating. Whether I’m building a brand, designing a website, producing a video, or collaborating with a team, I’m driven by the challenge of making work that is both beautiful and purposeful.

Outside of design management, I shoot photography, produce video, and build in Divi. I'm a Temple BFA grad and a two-time AIGA award winner.

Awards & Recognition

  • "Jess is THE teammate you want on your team. She has this amazing ability to take the tiniest design note or half-formed idea and somehow turn it into exactly what you were picturing, but better. No creative dream feels too big with Jess. She just knows how to bring it to life beautifully. She’s also the person you can count on, always. Tight deadline? Last-minute request? Big, messy project? Jess will figure it out, make it look incredible, and still be the kindest, most positive person in the room while doing it. Her skill set is honestly unmatched. Producer, videographer, photographer, designer, Canva pro, print, digital, social, ads, TV commercials, she can do it all and do it well. But beyond the talent, Jess is just an amazing human. She lights up every room she walks into, always has a smile on her face, and makes every project more fun just by being part of it. I genuinely can’t recommend Jess enough. Any team would be beyond lucky to have her!"

    —Allie Kraft (Team Member)

  • "Jess is one of those rare people who elevates every team, every project, and every brand she touches. She brings an exceptional design eye and a deep attention to detail that consistently pushes creative work to a higher standard. She approaches every new challenge with optimism and curiosity, always eager to learn new techniques, explore different parts of the business, and take on completely new types of design work. People love working with Jess because of her collaborative spirit and her ability to bring visions to life. She is organized, reliable, proactive, and always ahead of schedule. Jess also has a strong grasp of how design should adapt across marketing channels while still maintaining a cohesive, on-brand experience. She keeps the brand consistent, innovative, and thoughtful from one touchpoint to the next."

    —Mischa Kregstein (Direct Manager)

  • "Jess is hard-working, thoughtful, and communicative. Over the course of several semesters, Jess designed eight logos for our department along with a brochure and other marketing materials. She brought know-how and skill to all of her designs and tirelessly worked with us as we narrowed down our vision for the logos. Jess was able to take our abstract ideas about our mission and create compelling, visually engaging logos for each of our programs. She truly has a passion for graphic design and was a delight to work with."

    —Deirdre Kelleher (Direct Manager)
