Jessica Tillery‘s path to founding All Quality Graphics, a PRINTING United Alliance member, wasn’t linear — it was a wildly unexpected detour that turned into a calling. She spent a decade in sports medicine and corporate wellness, most recently as a wellness director at a major pharmaceutical company, before a move to Sacramento and a chance encounter with the screen print industry changed everything.

In this Her Imprint episode, Jessica gets candid about what the print industry looked like for women when she started (spoiler: not great), how that’s shifted dramatically in the last decade, and the role mentorship — from ROQ’s Ryan Moore to local high school interns — has played in her growth. Her advice for women entering the industry? Stop waiting until you feel qualified. Raise your hand. Show up. And get out of your own way.
