New York-based creative director Tess works where care and craft meet. 

Tess previously led Global Communications at LeapFrog Investments, a pioneering force in impact investing. She is Founder and Creative Director of Poetica, a luxury sustainable botanical brand featured in goop, Vogue and Forbes. Her work also includes the restoration of private New York residences.

Studio Poetica is where our creative pursuits take shape. Exploring the many facets of craft, we move fluently across the written word, creative direction, branding, product design, and interior design.

Purveyors of beauty with meaning, we’re guided by an eye for the spare, the rare, the deep and the sensory. We collaborate selectively on projects, drawn to work shaped by heritage and intention  - where a considered hand quietly leaves things better than it found them.
