Jessica Cunningham

I am the founder of By Jess - working to make sustainability more accessible in the Textile & Fashion industry. I take existing fabric and screen print my designs onto them to give a new lease of life – taking what is ‘old’ to someone and making it ‘new’ to someone else! I used to think charity shops were musty, fusty & dusty ... but now I understand what a treasure they are in encouraging circularity! I am really looking forward to broadening my knowledge and skillset from and alongside others as we work towards a more sustainable future.
