• Therapist who wants to find new ways to leverage storytelling for creative clients
Hedge Studio is driven by the belief that the process of visual storytelling serves the artist first as a tool for building self-awareness, self-trust, self-expression and integration.

All Hedge Studio projects model an approach to the creative process that’s artist-centered, mastery-based, holistic, and grounded in the belief that great stories begin with personal truth.

Advice that, coming from other people would make me angry, from Jessie Kate made perfect sense. She was always super supportive and open, helping me see what was the best path forward for me. I have never learned as much as in the 1 year I studied with her.

Jessie Kate is a natural when it comes to everything storytelling, narratives, and understanding the psychology of storytellers to help them find their voice and share their stories. Her approach is nothing short of genius, and I highly recommend her!

The Parallax transmedia projects, starting with story-driven games, are designed to inspire and model ways to implement a holistic creative process across formats.

The project explores an original IP centered around seeing from another perspective to conquer fears, challenging stigmas to discover your true self, and empowering diverse points of view to see beyond your limited perspective. ‍
