Jessica Hogarth
39 // Jessica Hogarth was born and raised in the charming fishing village of Robin Hood’s Bay on the North Yorkshire coast in the UK. Jessica studied Printed Textiles and Surface Pattern Design at Leeds College of Art, and after a few months working in Manchester returned home to rural Robin Hood’s Bay, where she works from a studio in the garden, overlooking the sea. Jessica’s coastal upbringing has had a big influence on her work and she has a growing number of coastalthemed designs, some of which are applied to a range of products. She also enjoys travelling, and Paris has also inspired a number of her designs. Clients include P&B Textiles, Trimcraft and menswear label Zanerobe. In 2013 Jessica was nominated for most promising young designer/artist at The Henries awards for the greetings-card industry. Jessica loves working on commissions and seeing the customer really pleased with the result. In the future she hopes to see her greetings cards on sale around the world.
