VP OF OPERATIONS

Jessica Howard wore a red dress to her own wedding and has never thrown a dull party in her life: no small shakes considering, she waited until she turned twelve for her first dinner party (she made and served Beef Wellington). Prior to this auspicious début she had already been designing & decorating cakes for three years. After growing up in Stone Mountain, she has lived in and around Athens for a decade.  

Jessica’s tenure as a personal and executive assistant includes working for a national cheerleading organization, a top-level real estate executive, and, notably, hosting symposia delegates from the four corners of the earth for the University of Georgia’s Center for International Trade and Security. Her BFA from the Lamar Dodd School of Art at UGA further honed her crafting skills and innate artistry, and imbued her with the unerring ability to “whip something up” even in the tightest of pre-event pinches.  

Recently, her audition for the Food Network’s “The Next Food Network Star” was featured on the program’s own webpage, but Jessica Howard always turns an unblinking spotlight on her clients and their guests. “Hosting is the biggest part of a party,” she says. “It’s absolutely crucial to a good time. Handmade, personal, and creative touches make all the difference.” When Jessica turns her prodigious hand to your special event, you and everyone there will feel that you and they have been Numerouno all along.
