THE STORY OF
The zesty table
Pull up a chair and make yourself comfortable! The Zesty Table originated from coffee dates and "treat yourself" lunches, where conversations flowed about delicious food, inventive cocktails, and the charming homes of historic Charleston.
At our core, we aspire to add flavor to your marketing strategy and cultivate lasting relationships with our clients. Engaging in digital media and design, our mission is to support your dreams. Our passion for your business and product fuels our enthusiasm, making our work both enjoyable and fulfilling.

ABOUT JESS
Ingredients
A New Englander through and through, Jess, a Connecticut native, graduated from the University of Connecticut with a communication degree, majoring in social media influence. Post-college, she navigated freelance work, transitioning to larger brands where project management and social media strategies became her forte. Inspired by a co-worker's praise for always bringing zest to the table, The Zesty Table was born – a hub for creativity, deliciousness, and passion for impeccable products.
When she’s not managing projects and stirring up collaborations, she’s at the barn getting dirty riding her horse Benjamin, basking in the excitement of watching veggies growing in her garden, enjoying slow mornings cuddled up with her rescue Doberman Mix Reese, and sharing a glass of wine and laughter with her husband Michael. Nature is her sanctuary, and whether the sun is shining or snow is gently falling, you can bet your bottom she’s outside, savoring the contentment of it all.

ABOUT JILLIAN
Ingredients
Originally a northern girl, Jillian grew up in the Minnesota snow. She went to School at JMU in Virginia where she studied Graphic Design and has worked for in house marketing teams, creative agencies, and started working for herself in 2022. She has experience working with brands across a wide variety of industries and believes good design is like a cup of coffee: with out it established early on, chaos will likely ensue.
​
When she’s not working on elevating brand identities or creating beautifully designed, performance driven websites, she spends time loving on her rescue Great Pyrenees mix named Lila, reading fantasy books, cooking cozy dishes, watching the Vikings deliver yet another underwhelming season, and doing anything in the great outdoors. She has lived in Minneapolis MN, Arlington VA, Grand Rapids MI, Charleston SC, Annapolis MD and hopes to keep exploring and adding to the list!
