About
Jessica Ballerstein · TIKA Studios
Creative Director.
Photographer.
I build the idea, the visual language, and the team that brings it to life.
For more than a decade, I’ve led creative work across brand, campaign, editorial, and photography, taking projects from first idea through final image.
Through TIKA Studios, I’ve directed more than 100 projects and 40 campaigns, working with more than 100 collaborators across production, styling, photography, editing, and brand teams.
My work moves between independent brands, editorial projects, and cultural institutions. I founded Wè, an independent editorial publication; created Recess: Adults at Play from the ground up; and photographed seven artists for the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego.
