I am Jess, a copywriter from Joburg, South Africa. Currently, I live in Amsterdam, NL where I've since become a recent graduate of Sextech School (13th cohort) and one of the organisers of Porn Film Festival Amsterdam. I also run the marketing and social media for the festival.
I’m a fierce advocate for the right to self-centred sexual exploration as an expression of autonomy and intention. I’m driven to curate and contribute to safe spaces that dismantle shame, welcome others and encourage exploration within ourselves and the communities we’re part of.

I’m that friend you whisper your STD questions to. That coworker you trust with your unspoken kinks. That stranger you open up to about menopause. I do copywriting and creative work for brands in these worlds: SEX | SEXTECH | PORN | SEX TOYS | SEX WORK | SEXUALITY | SEX EVENTS | SEX EDUCATION | MASTURBATION | BODIES | PLEASURE | CRITICAL JOY
