J3 Design was founded as a small graphic design firm by artist and designer, Jaye Parrish, in New Orleans in 2002. Graduating from college in Virginia with a fine arts degree in painting, Jaye acquired a love for art at an early age, first excelling in it in grammar school and gaining regional attention by the time she was in her early teens. Already an accomplished painter, the artist transitioned into graphic design, working as designer/creative director/art director for various local businesses. As principal of J3 Design, she has built a reputation for designing edgy, award-winning advertisements, branding campaigns, invitations, websites, digital and print collateral. Winning numerous ADDYs and AIGA design awards, she has been documented both locally , regionally and nationally. In 2012, however, after being given a ceramics class as a gift by her husband, she began studying a new medium, quickly falling in love with its sculptural possibilities. Though  J3 Design continues to produce graphic design on request, it is now focusing on ceramics. Many elements of the artist's graphic design and painting background can also be found in her ceramics, whether by virtue of actual imagery drawn onto the clay surface as in an early graphic collection from 2013/2014 or through the manipulation of a material with an understated complexity and combination of unexpected elements such as wire. She continues to study and experiment with new interpretations of the medium. 

Her work has been displayed and sold at local Art Markets since 2014, New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival's Contemporary Crafts in 2015, 2016, and 2017, Freret Clay Center Gallery, New Orleans Museum of Art (NOMA) gift shop, the Ogden Museum of Southern Art’s gift shop and local design shops. It is currently on display and available for purchase at Villa Vici in New Orleans. You may also contact the artist directly via link on contact page or at j3design@speakeasy.net if interested in making a purchase, ordering a commission/special order or setting up a gift registry.  It has been featured in publications such as the Times Picayune New Orleans and The Advocate.
