A mover-and-shaker from Northeast Pennsylvania, Jess Meoni creates platforms and programs for communities by implementing her skills as a graphic designer, organizer, photographer, writer, and educator. An advocate for socially-charged design, Meoni devotes much of her career to researching the history and artistic impact of the underground press, as well as other acts of radicalism and revolution. She has presented her graduate thesis, The Graphic Design Techniques and Cultural History of Radical Publications in both Seattle and Boston. She is involved in making zines, self-publishing her music and activism work since 2008, and is credited with establishing The Scranton Punk Rock Flea Market and Zine Fest in 2010. Since then, Jess has launched several successful TEDx Talk conferences, the all-women open mic known as Grrrls Night, and also became the co-founder of Second Banana Co., an alternative textile business that creates patches, buttons, stickers and more. Meoni received her Bachelor of Fine Art in 2012 and her Masters of Fine Art in 2015, both in graphic design from Marywood University. She currently works and lives in Scranton, PA.
