Who is Jess Graves?

I am a writer and Founder. After spending ten years in Atlanta, Georgia, I recently relocated to the Gramercy Park area of New York City.

I own Graves Creative. We define brand language and identity via advertising production, creative consulting, and graphic/web design.

Our clients are visionaries who focus on best-in-class brands and placemaking. Our portfolio of projects encompasses many of the United States’ most significant real estate, beauty, e-commerce, and hospitality brands.

For over ten years, my work has appeared in Vogue, Town & Country, Complex, Vanity Fair, as the style columnist in Atlanta Magazine, and Southern Living, which named me one of the “75 Most Stylish Southerners”.
