Jessica Allen
Jessica Allen, the artist behind our Moon Rocks truffle bar, is a freelance illustrator who’s always been inspired by words, wherever they’re found. From the picture books she read as a child, to poetry, to paper ephemera in vintage shops,the sounds and shapes of words are what get her creative cogs turning. Hand-lettering has become a signature of her work, along with painterly brush strokes and an eye for tiny details. Jessica’s background in art history and graphic design strongly influence her visual aesthetic. She has created illustrations for a wide range of projects, including magazines, stationery, book covers, and food packaging. Jessica lives in Rhode Island with her husband, her two daughters, and a wiry little dog named Roo. Learn more at jessicaallen.net
“When we decided to commemorate the first Moon Landing with a truffle bar, we knew it had to be done in a way that expressed the magic of the moment; bringing it to life for all ages. I was so drawn to how Jessica used deep colors and soft lines to create movement. With her unique aesthetic, she was able to show the Moon Landing in a way that felt both fresh and nostalgic. The end result is a chocolate bar that makes people ages 5 to 100 smile!”
