Jacquelyn is a passionate cannabis professional who is always ready for a challenge. They are perfect for discussing social media strategies for content imagery and avoiding the dreaded cannabis shadowbans on social media. They have helped me through my struggles with creating images and video content to be used for Instagram reels and evergreen photos that I will be able to use continuously on various social media platforms. Jax is incredibly intelligent when it comes to creating hashtag strategies, how to use the right audios to trend on Instagram, and so much more. I am so excited to continue working with Jax more as I continue to grow my personal brand!

Jacquelyn. Let me start by saying if you hire this powerhouse, you are doing the absolute best thing for not only your business but your mental well-being. I was the creative director on a project with Jackie to enter the inaugural Clio Marketing Awards campaign. She was recommended to us by a fellow colleague, Karli Adams. If you’re in the cannabis marketing world, you’d know the name. Jackie has BLOWN MY MIND with not only her passion, ambition, and creativity but her attention to detail. She is an absolute DREAM to work with. On it, organized, passionate, and inspired. You are one of the luckiest business owners or clients if you have Jackie on your team.

Working with Jacquelyn at RubiStarr designs was such a treat and amazing experience. As a designer her talent and hard work goes beyond the norm but as a co-worker she is someone who inspires others around her. She’s extremely selfless and always willing to help others. Her knowledge of design and the trends past and present around her make her a dynamic person to work with. Not to mention her amazing skills in hand lettering, hand drawing, and illustrator. She’s definitely the kind of person you want o your team both as a designer, employee, and friend
