Jess Ullman

Senior Designer, Colossus

Jess Ulman is a Senior Designer at Colossus, which she joined in 2023. Jess brings an artful touch to her work which spans branding, illustration, web design, and editorial design.

At Colossus, Jess led the forthcoming rebrand for the renowned performing arts institution Celebrity Series, a brand overhaul set to debut in early 2026. In addition, Jess has lent her unique style to recent branding projects for Dream Recovery, a sports performance company, as well as the massive rebrand for Highspring, a global professional services organization with offices in more than six countries.

A self-taught designer and illustrator, Jess began her creative career at a small branding agency in western Massachusetts called IdeaCo., before moving to New York City. There, she worked with clients such as Spotify, Aetna, Apollo, and Brooklyn Magazine. Jess discovered her love for editorial design while leading the Brooklyn Magazine redesign. This magazine centered around creating playful, illustrative, and distinct spreads that reflected the eclectic nature of Brooklyn. Since then, Jess has aimed to incorporate a more human touch into her work, experimenting with hand drawn elements and textures, and leaning into the whimsical imperfections that bring warmth to her projects. Jess is driven by the belief that no matter the brief, there is always room to push the envelope and create compelling work..
