Jess Sand

.Jess Sand runs Roughstock Studios, a solo communications practice (and certified San Francisco Green Business) providing copywriting, design, and communications planning to independently-minded organizations.

As partner and content lead for the online sustainable graphic design toolkit  Re-nourish.com, she works to make practical sustainability resources accessible to working designers.

With a certificate in sustainable business management, a BA in creative writing, and years of design by osmosis, Jess tries to reconcile the inherent challenges of commerce and culture through her work. Her writing and design has been published in numerous books, magazines, and online publications, and her incessant need to question the status quo manages to raise the occasional eyebrow.
