Client Testimonials

  • "Jess Muise served during a period of transition from a founder-led organization with a volunteer working board and limited administrative support, to an organization with a more sustainable structure—one ready for a full-time ED and board directed by a strategic plan. Jess is facile with making connections in the art world and with navigating working with the city. With Jess’s help, TEMPOart met its financial goals and had a very successful year! Jess worked very hard to ensure a smooth transition with TEMPOart’s first full-time Executive Director. She was able to anticipate the organization’s needs during the immediate transition as well as into the future. She really set up the new ED for success. Jess was outstanding—generous with her time and welcoming to our new full-time ED. Jess has left TEMPOart poised for continued success, and we are very grateful for her hard work!"

  • "I met Jess in 2017 when Factory 3 was just an idea. At the time, she was one of the people managing Artisans Asylum (my dream makerspace!) and I remember being genuinely nervous that they wouldn’t take me seriously. Instead, from the moment I met her, she treated me like a peer—someone with something real worth building. She welcomed me in, shared an incredible amount of hard-earned wisdom, asked thoughtful questions, and gave me guidance that helped set Factory 3 up on the right footing. Factory 3 would not exist in the way it does today without her."
