Hi there, my name is Jessica, and I’m a #creativedirector and consultant in #Austin. I love crazy man-repelling pants, over-caffeinating myself, and snuggling with my cat Louie. 😺☕️ – @internationalvelvet

I save magazine tear-outs, put them in plastic protectors (nerd!), and revisit them when I need to feel inspired. 🙌 I’m currently revisiting editorials I love as I prep for the next issue of my magazine, @velvetdustmag. – @internationalvelvet

We just moved back into my favorite building in #Austin. It’s a little hidden gem in a neighborhood called #Clarksville. It gets the best light and has a little Paris-meets-New York thing going for it. – @internationalvelvet

Wrapping up my unpacking a ridiculous amount of ceramic miniatures. I started buying little #Japaneseteacups, dishes and mugs when I was 16. These three are all gifts from friends, so they feel extra special. 👯 – @internationalvelvet

I had to go back and revisit this #mural. It’s painted on the side of a lamp store, and it’s just TOO good. I want to walk into this pastel cactus world! – @internationalvelvet

Throwback to Paris many years ago. 😍 I lived there in ’08 and ’09, and my husband and I are planning a summer trip to see old friends and to escape the oppressive summer heat. I can’t wait for baguettes, perfect Paris light, and days spent wandering around and snapping pics. – @internationalvelvet

Another street mural that I just love. 😍 The color palette on this one gets me every time. – @internationalvelvet

Spent the morning daydreaming about home décor. My husband and I honeymooned at Coquí Coquí in Coba, a small village in the Yucatán. I loved the color palette of warm, neutral tones, and I’m hoping to make our place feel equally serene. – @internationalvelvet
