Jade fell in love with clay while studying at the University of Tennessee. For the last decade, she has been creating hand-built sculptures which began as organic abstract forms inspired by marine life. After receiving her MFA from the University of Washington in 2025, Jade's work has become focused on using ceramic objects as modes of storytelling. Her sculptures now act as characters and infrastructure within a speculative post-ocean planet.

During her time at UW, Jade taught ceramic courses which focused on building foundational skills in hand building (pinch, slab, coil), throwing, glazing, and storytelling. Her students are always encourages to make work that has meaning; pieces that they will take home and cherish.
