Biography
Jessica Blackman
A Brooklyn original, Jessica moved once, to acquire some degrees in Studio Arts and Cultural Anthropology from the University of Rochester. Following her studies, she promptly returned to her hometown and began to carve a place for herself in Marketing and Social Media while learning from the school of hard knocks as a bartender.
Jessica has used her smarts and her sass to build successful online campaigns and cultural events for presenting arts institutions Creative Time and Lower Manhattan Cultural Council (LMCC), and later as the Director of New Media for music marketing agency, Giant Step.
As the Community & Partnership Manager at Krrb, Jessica is constantly discovering new opportunities to build long lasting relationships within the fast growing world of Upcycling and Reselling. She also serves as Managing Editor of the Krrb Blog, where she researches, writes, and edits compelling features on Krrb members, scavenger’s tales, neighborliness and cultural trends across the global Krrb community.
In her “spare” time, Jessica enjoys both creating AND eating amazing, exotic foods, taking scissors and thread to vintage/designer duds, and playing new mommy to the sure-to-be-famous Dagger Wolf.
