When It’s Time to Pivot Back: Jessica Comingore Donais LIBERTY ROAD with Nada Jones

Jessica Comingore Donais is an entrepreneur and creative consultant living in Portland, Oregon. With a deep-rooted passion for design and an intrinsic eye for aesthetics, she finds great satisfaction in helping business owners construct and elevate their brands through meticulously crafted identities, refined art direction, and strategy-driven consulting. Regardless of the project at hand, Jessica’s primary objective is to help her clients work more mindfully, grow more holistically, and lead more authentically.
In this episode, Nada sits down with Jessica to discuss how she took a break from her branding business, Marbury, moved from LA to Portland and started a mom-and-pop pizzeria, Pizza Doughnais, with her husband. In this career and life pivot, Jessica rediscovered her strengths and reassessed her pivot from branding to the restaurant industry. Listen closely as she outlines the hard questions that need to be asked when starting a business, moving towards or away from a venture and the value of taking a break and getting some space before you leave something altogether. Jessica gives her insight into why branding is more about community than tasteful graphic design.
