Jessica Colaluca

  • Having worked in-house at Ford, Reebok, and Timberland … Jessica “went on her own,” founding her original consultancy ( Seed ) in 2009. Through working with clients across industries, she has been fortunate to contribute in various capacities from concept and design, to strategy and implementation.

    HI HUES was founded in 2020 as a new agency for a new era.

    Launched in August of 2025, Jessica is once again reinventing color blogging with HUESBOX … a palette inspiration tool with unmatched color that works for you.

    Just as Design Seeds was a digital reinterpretation of her original physical journals … Jessica is continuing to move color forward by utilizing generative AI ( to create inspiration ), tuning color harmonies through digital editing, and providing workable modern hues for projects, brands, & personal use.

  • Jessica is most widely known for creating the original color inspiration site … Design Seeds.

    Launched in May of 2009, the site “for all who love color” quickly grew to viral levels of popularity. While averaging 2 million pageviews a month for a decade, Jessica gained over 1.5 million followers across social.

    Design Seeds has been featured in prominent publications including; USA Today, MTV Fora, HGTV, Apartment Therapy, Better Homes & Gardens magazine, Smashing Magazine, and The Huffington Post. Jessica has been included as Mashable's #3 of the 21 leading online influencers in their "must-follow Pinterest users" list, as well as Refinery29's top 10 Pinterest influencers.

  • Launched in January of 2020, HI HUES was a reimagined color inspiration site & blog focusing on modern color for a new era.

    Abruptly interrupted by Covid, the HI HUES archives are a time capsule of pre-pandemic optimism, bursting with human made inspiration, photography, and color.

    Although new online digital content had been stopped by abrupt circumstance, HI HUES lived on in various mediums and articulations … including a brand & client direct color service.
