Jessica Winniford is a multi-disciplinary artist based in Dallas, Texas. Her work focuses on capturing everyday life of people through street photography and creating organic, dream-like designs.

She decided to pursue photography as her primary focus and received a BFA in photography from Louisiana State University in 2012, studying under Jeremiah Ariaz, Thomas Neff, Michael Crespo, Mary Claire Delony and others. After graduating from university, she moved to Asia working closely with two non-profits focused on providing holistic care for survivors of human trafficking and exploitation(2012-2019). Her work as Creative Manager, Lead Photographer and Graphic designer gave her years of hands-on experience in the field working within a small company context.
