Effortless + Pain-Free

Jess Glebe Design came highly recommended by our friends at Modus Hotels. With such high acclaim, we were naturally a tad skeptical...but with the pressing need for a logo design and all around branding for our new venture, D.C.'s Hotel Hive, we quickly reached out to Jess. 

After viewing her first design presentation, we let out a great sigh of relief—Jess's work lived up to its renown, our hesitation was put to rest, and we're happy to say that it's been smooth sailing ever since. 

From our hotel collateral to interior wayfinding signage, working with Jess was effortless and pain-free. Her aptitude for communication, impeccable turnaround time, and creative capacities are forces to be reckoned with. She listened to our feedback, collaborated with our team, and was a huge part in making Hotel Hive a great success.

Jess drove the boat with a seasoned hand...

Choosing a designer to create my logo and label was a huge nerve-racking step. You’re tasked with choosing someone to help you move your idea, your baby, forward. After seeing Jessica’s work and speaking with her, my gut told me I had found the right person.

Without a doubt, Jess brought my vision to life. She listened to my ramblings, earmarked keywords, and interpreted my dreams to distill everything into a logo and label that matched what my subconscious was looking for. 

Her communication is amazing, and thank goodness! I wanted someone to take the lead and guide me through this daunting process. She did that and more. From sourcing the perfect paper to overcoming design challenges with optimism and calm, Jess drove the boat with a seasoned hand, all the while fully collaborating and keeping me up to speed.  

My happiness is re-affirmed every day when I see the gorgeous label gracing my honey jars, not to mention that I saw an immediate increase in sales with my new packaging. What’s more, the responses from customers were the exact keywords we had hoped to manifest through graphic expression: classic, simple, elegant, timeless.

I recommend Jess whenever I overhear a friend or colleague looking for a talented designer, and my advice to you, if you’re on the fence, is to leap on over.

I knew I wanted to work with Jessica the minute I saw her website

Jessica's designs spoke to me right away. I knew she could capture the essence of my business and create a logo just for me. Her process helped refine my thoughts and crystallize key components which she then used to create a beautiful logo. This logo captures layers of meaning and projects the exact feeling I needed it to. Brilliant! I also enjoyed brainstorming with Jessica and teaming with her through this process. It was a joy to work with her. I look forward to working with her in the near future to redesign my website and create all new stationery for me. This process of rebranding marks the start of a new life for me. And Jessica is helping this new life take form. How exciting!

Jess listens very well to the needs of her customer.

Modus Hotels is owner and operator of privately owned lifestyle hotels based in Washington, D.C. We worked with Jess Glebe Design to create a new brand identity for Modus Hotels. Jessica presented us with six rounds of options and we settled on a very modern, fun, clean logo that helped give our brand more presence in the market. From there, we worked together to create a whole new brand package for each hotel, so that Modus would be recognized at each one of our 8 hotels. Jess is incredibly creative, and listens very well to the needs of her customer. 

We get so many wonderful comments on the new branding for Modus. We will continue to work with Jessica on all of our branding needs in the future. We really enjoyed working with her.
