The only true fuel for the long working weekends, nagging self doubt, and missed opportunities is the passion you have for your idea.

More about Jesse

Jesse talks about the growth of direct-to-consumer commerce and the growing importance of using packaging as your storefront with Make it in LA.

Jesse and co-founder Stephan discuss Jesse’s viral essay from International Women’s Day and answers questions from the audience on Lumi’s podcast, Well Made.

On the Heroine podcast, Jesse speaks candidly about the her early days of printing t-shirts in her parents’ basement, cold calling businesses, and how that led to Lumi.

Jesse Talks to 99U about getting down to business and finding the profitable appeal in “unsexy” industries.

Jesse uses a carrot metaphor to discuss the growing importance of building impactful, memorable products at the Layers conference.
