Hi, it’s me, I’m the problem, it’s me :)

 ABOUT Us…

Where It All Started

Hi, It’s me, Jess… A Call To Create started as a quarantine hobby keep up with friends during the COVID-19 Pandemic. It started with simple watercolor and minimalistic doodles that reflected the things I valued most—my people. I’d sketch and then slap a stamp on an envelope and mail them to my friends and family. What began as a creative outlet turned into something I never expected: a way to bring people together and commemorate seasons or moments in life, one illustration at a time.

What we Believe

A Call To Create was built on one idea — that a moment captured by hand means more. Whether it's a bride watching her wedding come to life in real time, or a guest walking away with a keepsake made just for them, our goal is always the same: bring a little more joy and connection into the room.

We believe in:

  • Warmth over perfection — every piece is made with heart, not just skill

  • Real connection — with our clients, our guests, and the incredible vendors we get to work alongside

  • Showing up fully — for every event, big or small, luxury or laid-back

A Growing Team

What started as a one-woman quarantine hobby has grown into a small team of Guest Artists, each trained in the heart and style behind A Call To Create. No matter who's at the table creating for you and your guests, you can expect the same warmth, quality, and joy that started it all — because that heart is still mine, poured into everyone I bring on board.

Let’s Create Together

Whether you're planning a wedding, a corporate event, or something in between, our hope is that working with us feels less like hiring a vendor and more like calling a friend. For us, it’s a “get to” deemed as an honor to be a part of your story. We can’t wait.

“Some moments really should last forever..”

Lets Create Together.

It’s been my greatest joy to get to know you and your people through creating. I find it truly an honor that people trust me with special, personal, and important things that make their world go ‘round. Marie Kondo (yes, I love binge watching Netflix just like any other person does) asks people on her show about “tidying up” if items “spark joy.” That is exactly what my hope for each and every piece I create is—that it will be something that sparks joy, generates smiles, and warms hearts.

If you are someone who finds joy in giving special things to your people, it would be an honor to help you do that. If you are someone who’s on a mission to fill your home with things that are personal and special to you, I’ve got it covered. Want to remember a special day? A wedding? A graduation? A birth? Let me recreate it. Don’t have a family portrait with everyone in it? Let me piece it together for you so you do. I’m in the market for creating special things for people like you. Let’s chat!
