Jessica's music has had extensive airplay on Radio 3 and Classic FM, as well as on radio stations and in concert halls around the world.

She wrote the music for the genre-defying Dear Esther, which won awards for Best Audio at the TIGA’s, a GANG award and nominations for Best Audio at the BAFTAs. The music went on a worldwide orchestral tour as part of 'Replay: Symphony of Heroes'. The sold-out 'Dear Esther Live', where the game is played real-time alongside musicians and BAFTA nominated actor Oliver Dimsdale, premiered at The Barbican to great acclaim, went on a national tour of the country's finest concert halls and then toured internationally.

In 2017 Jessica wrote the music for Google Daydream game So Let Us Melt, described as "easily one of the best classical releases of 2017, and one of the best game soundtracks of the year too."

In late 2018 she was commissioned by The Royal Shakespeare Company and Magic Leap to work on The Seven Ages of Man, a mind-bending, beautiful AR experience which was selected for Sundance Film Festival 2019 as part of their New Frontier programme. 

Her BAFTA winning music for acclaimed PS4 title Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture was named soundtrack of the year by MOJO magazine and sat in the Top 10 of both the Official and ClassicFM charts for several weeks. The score won Best Score at the Emotional Games Awards, won four GANG awards in San Francisco, and the game won Best Audio and Best Performer as well as Best Music at the BAFTAs 2016.

Jessica is also well-known as a radio presenter.
