About me
Hello! I am Jessica P. Sanchez Russi, a Houston-based multidisciplinary designer with a Master of Science in Industrial Design from the University of Houston and a BFA in Computer Animation from Sam Houston State University. My journey has taken me through design and development in the beauty industry and led me to pursue projects related to outer space and harsh environments.
I founded Polymotions, to work with small team on building visual systems for branding, motion, and products. I also run an Etsy shop called Timber and Tails, offering custom wood and 3D-printed pet products.
I'm a curious mind and an avid learner, always looking to expand my knowledge and improve my craft.You can find me reading fantasy or sci-fi books when I'm not designing or working on my latest project.
Philosophia
My design philosophy is driven by a passion for tackling complex challenges and creating impactful, meaningful solutions.
My approach is rooted in a deep understanding of user requirements, leveraging technology and materials to deliver solutions that make a difference.
