Hi, I’m Jessi Cortez—a Denver, CO based creative director, designer, and brand strategist with a passion for transforming ideas into bold, cohesive visual experiences. With over a decade of experience across design, marketing, and education, I specialize in building brands from the ground up and elevating existing ones to their full potential.

I design products for BERTEAU & Co., a nationally recognized stationery and lifestyle brand for educators, and I’ve played a major role in reimagining the look and feel of Elevate Your Classroom, helping shape its rise into a nationally celebrated conference experience.

I’ve also led major design initiatives for ESGI Software, Alive Studios Zoo, Gerry Brooks, and Teach Your Heart Out—developing lasting brand visuals, digital content, and immersive marketing campaigns that bring each brand’s vision to life.

From logos and websites to packaging, decor, and product design—I bring a sharp eye for detail, a strong sense of storytelling, and a deep love for turning brands into experiences.
