Ten years ago Jessica Lee decided to combine her sales and marketing savvy from her years as a film executive and producer with her love of beautiful things. The result was the creation of "L.A. Productions"--one of the hottest lifestyle and gift rep companies on the market. Focusing on distinctive, fashion forward items, in a variety of prices, Jessica enjoys nurturing the talent of up-and-coming artists and designers, including Maura Fickett of Needham Lane Sleepwear and Noel Cianci, creator of the brand new "Gypsy Style"  totes made of recycled plastic bottles.

A "green" company, L.A. Productions now sells to over 15,000 customers around the globe via the New York, Atlanta, Los Angeles and San Francisco gift shows, as well as the Paris Lingerie Show, and maintains permanent show rooms in both Atlanta and Los Angeles. Plans are also in the works to participate in "Tendenz", the German International Gift Show--which will be a great opportunity for Jessica to put her fluent German to use. Even with a very full schedule Jessica always makes time for community outreach, currently serving as a director on two neighborhood safety and beautification boards.   A graduate of the woman’s college, Wheaton, in Norton, MA she serves as a Southern Californian chairperson for recruiting and outreach efforts for the  college and frequently speaks at college fairs to prospective students. Jessica is also an 11 year member of the Los Angeles Junior League, and an active board member of both "Aria" and "Allegro"--two non-profit organizations dedicated to promoting the arts and arts education in Southern California. Recently, Jessica was invited to join Young Entrepreneurs Organization, a worldwide network of high-achieving, successful business owners. A resident of both Los Angeles and New York city, Jessica lives with her husband Luis Alexander Jimenez, owner of "Americ-ad", a Southern California based advertising agency and multi-media company.
