A wife and proud mom of two energetic boys, she's a Southern California native that loves a good taco and margarita.

After eight years in retail management, she decided she didn't want to miss the little things as her boys grew up. She quit her job and they moved across the country to Philly in 2020. In January 2022, she took a leap and opened Cassontherocks, where she creates and sells handmade cups and accessories.

What started as a passion project quickly grew, and she was honored to have her work featured in Makers Vintage + Handmade in Dublin, PA. When that beloved boutique closed its doors, she knew she had to continue Jess' mission of supporting local, handmade makers. She decided to create a new space where artisans like herself could thrive in a community dedicated to craftsmanship and creativity.
