welcome to deacon rd.
Deacon Rd. is a creative communications studio specialising in all things written, brought to you Jess Deacon.
Hello, I’m Jess.
Deacon Rd. is the culmination of my 15 years’ experience working in Operations and Communications, my passion for writing and creativity, and a desire to balance my day-to-day with being a mother and a musician, too.
I am a tertiary-qualified communicator with writing experience across a range of industries and styles; from poetic paragraphs to longer, more formal pieces of expository, descriptive and persuasive writing.
I get a kick out of crafting clear communications for clients who appreciate the power of intentional copy. Words without waffle. Sentences that stand out.
I also proudly collaborate with a network of digital and creative experts to deliver a wide range of projects for clients, whatever their vision may be.
I am Jess. Musician. Writer. Mother. Adventurer. Logophile. Grammar pedant. Eternal optimist. Risk-taker. Life-lover.

I wear many hats in my professional life, and as a creative person I really enjoy the variety.
