Jordan Moss is a Bed Stuy based graphic designer and fine artist from Brooklyn. Jordan is interested in all forms of creative expression - furniture, design, books, clothing, food etc. She thrives off intentional design of all sorts. She has been illustrating and practicing many mediums of art since she was a small child. Art has always been what she wanted to pursue and her main outlet. She moved from Brooklyn to Delaware with her mother, Marcie, after her father passed. She found herself in an environment that she did not enjoy and was not a reflection who she was. Jordan felt out of place, uncomfortable, and depressed. After years of navigating, learning herself, and creating art she realized that her craft would be the way to escape that environment. She applied to art school in New York and returned back to the place she calls home.
Jordan’s first bodies of work began with pen and ink illustrations and painting. During her time in college Jordan studied fine art. Her favorite class/medium was screen printing. As Jordan began to create more intricate digital work she found that those mediums impacted her approach. She approaches most of her digital artworks with the lens of layers, color, and texture just as she would a screenprint or a woodblock print. This is what truly excels her digital work into a higher echelon than most designers. We went through some of her past work together and this became overtly apparent through her progression in mediums and themes reflected in her body of work.
Jordan and I met in Tokyo in 2019. We reminisced and agreed that the trip was unbelievably aligned, fruitful, and fun. She had just quit her job at a huge advertising firm after weeks of them acting weird and not feeling utilized to her full potential. She quit and hopped on a plane to Tokyo. By chance the trip she booked was at the same time a group of my peers and I planned to go. We were all there for different reasons, for work, creative endeavors, fashion week, an escape of regular life and pure exploration. The group that ended up traveling together had great energy. We agreed that we couldn't have asked for a better group to travel with.
