Meet Jess
Founder, Root & Trellis | Business Growth Consulting
Rooted in your reality. Personalized systems for lasting growth.
I love being at the inception of something new, or at the renaissance of something already in motion.
Seeing someone else’s vision lights up my brain. Give me a goal, a half-formed idea, or a “we know where we want to go, we just don’t know how to get there,” and I’m immediately in creative problem-solving mode. I love taking big, ambitious visions and turning them into clear, workable roadmaps that actually make growth possible.
Entrepreneurs inspire me endlessly. There’s something powerful about watching someone build toward a vision they care deeply about, and I see real beauty in teaming up with founders to help bring those visions to life. Through Root & Trellis, I partner with business owners and leadership teams to build the operational systems, programs, and structures that support growth—without breaking when things get bigger, messier, or evolve in unexpected ways.
Unlike traditional consulting, I don’t just advise from the sidelines. I like becoming part of the team. I’ll absolutely help you think strategically, but I’m also happy to roll up my sleeves and build alongside you. When we work together, I’m on your team—focused on creating systems that are thoughtful, scalable, and grounded in the reality of how your business actually operates.
My career was largely shaped in the live music industry, where I was surrounded by creatives, builders, and entrepreneurs chasing big ideas—often within complex systems. Early on, I saw the entrepreneurial mindset in action under a female entrepreneur who ran her own book of business within a major corporate agency. That experience taught me that entrepreneurship shows up anywhere people are building, growing, and pushing against what already exists—whether that’s within startups, artists and creative businesses, or larger organizations that value people and growth.
I’ve spent my career cutting my teeth alongside those builders—helping turn creative ambition into sustainable plans, and big ideas into businesses that can actually last. At my core, I see the creative beauty in solving operational puzzles. I believe every great idea deserves a strong foundation—one that won’t crack if the thing you’re building grows fast, gets weird, or evolves in unexpected ways.
Let’s build the foundation your hard work deserves.
