Client Testimonials
Jessica Muise has been an invaluable ally and consultant to our farm business as a brilliant " third wheel" to our small and super diverse farm business. She is brilliant in managing the many moving parts of a growing and diverse farm business, and getting all the parts reflected in the business planning process. She has helped with overall budgeting, project planning and strategic planning, she has coordinated with contractors and architects to create infrastructure plans, she has drafted and edited and conceptualized and proofread and submitted and strategized grants. She has also been amazing at identifying funding opportunities and helping us figure out which ones make sense to apply for."
- Severine Welcome, Owner and Operator, Smithereen Farm
"I met Jessica Muise at a community event. Upon our first meeting, I found Jess to be kind, smart, easy to talk to, and really understanding of what struggles and obstacles artists face. She agreed to meet with me about a week later and counsel me on some public art initiatives I was working on. After one hour of Jess sharing her brain with me, I was able to create a sponsorship packet and template that has already secured enough funding to complete the proposed project! She not only helped with that one project, but has supplied me with the tools to create a template that I can employ for future projects as well. In my humble opinion, the world could use a lot more folks like Jessica. She is a true champion of the arts and of artists, and I am incredibly lucky to have met her and been the recipient of her generosity and insight."
