our story.

behind the curtain

Founder and principal Jessica Gore is not afraid of anyone labeling her a geek. She considers herself an ambidextrous thinker capable of exercising both left brain objectivity and right brain subjectivity. Logical and intuitive, rational and holistic, she combines her passion for art and technology in every aspect of her work.

Jessica graduated from Carnegie Mellon University with a B.S. in English specializing in Technical Writing in 1998. Early in her career, she realized that she enjoyed designing the software manuals she was assigned to create more than actually writing them. She then shifted focus to pursue a career in graphic and website design in 1999.

Over the years, Jessica took graphic design courses through the UC Berkeley Extension program and taught herself all things web—from purely hand-coded, standards compliant HTML5, CSS3 and Javascript to PHP and MySQL web application development. A lifelong learner, there’s no challenge that Jessica won’t face head on.

Jessica plays an active role in the San Francisco Bay Area design community and served on the board of the San Francisco chapter of AIGA the professional association for design as Communications Co-Chair from 2006 to 2012.

Jessica founded Gore Creative in 2005 with the goal of providing agency-level graphic design and web development services to small businesses, non-profits, artists and individuals on a budget.
