My name is Jessica Sarkodie and I am a multi-hyphenate storyteller and creative. I started my creative journey as a self-taught photographer, with my work exhibited in over 8 cities across 4 continents. In just three years on this path, I collaborated with industry giants like The New York Times, Financial Times, Conde Nast Traveler, The Atlantic, The Washington Post and more.

Driven by curiosity and evolution, I expanded my craft beyond the lens — mastering storytelling through photography, video, writing, and voice. Today, through my work in creative direction and digital + social strategy, I help brands translate ideas into authentic narratives and visuals that resonate deeply with their audiences.

I am currently based in Lisbon, Portugal.
