We decided to end this year with a classic beauty, Jessica Ecklund.
Jessica was born in Minnesota, lived in New York City, and now resides in Southern California. Jessica was approached by a talent scout as a teenager while shopping with her mom. She first signed with an agency in Minneapolis. At the age of sixteen, after moving to Chicago, she received an assignment that took her to Europe and then New York City.
She has many print, commercial, fashion show, and television projects to her credit. Her clients include, Marchesa, Badgley Mishka, Carmen Marc Volvo, Tory Burch (as a fit presentation and runway model), Maybelline, and Redkin.
Jessica studied theatre at NYU and worked on stage and in TV commercials for Hone Goods, Verizon, and Adidas. Television and movie roles include Blue Bloods, Gossip Girl, and a part in the feature film Run All Night.
Jessica, now a mother, has transitioned into more commercial modeling. She and her daughter have even worked together twice. Jessica has found it very rewarding to share her career experience with her daughter.
