Jesse is a Kuala Lumpur–based model and talent working across editorial, campaign and beauty. Comfortable in front of a beauty macro lens or sunk into a full look on a coloured set, she moves between soft, expressive close-ups and character-driven campaign work with the same ease.
Off set, she's usually behind a microphone, a brush, or a camera of her own — a multi-hyphenate approach to the industry that keeps every shoot feeling considered rather than routine.
Seven series pulled from studio, editorial and campaign sessions — comp-card lookbook, sport-red editorial, street style, quiet portraiture, an Elena Blair editorial, bridal beauty, and product campaigns.

Runway modelling for L’Oréal at Kuala Lumpur Fashion Week.
2026 contestant, Kuala Lumpur.
Modelling is one thread — the rest of the practice runs alongside it.
People from completely different walks of life still carry their own stories worth telling — that idea sits behind Two Chatters. It actually started alone: talking out loud to an empty room, the way some people think best out loud rather than in silence. Recording it on a phone turned that habit into something worth keeping, and finding a like-minded friend to sit across the mic turned it into a proper, ongoing project — still, at its core, just a fun thing to make together.
Instagram →Self-taught in makeup artistry. First picked up makeup at 15 through cosplay, and everything since has been built through hands-on practice — trial and error, tutorials, and knowledge traded back and forth with other makeup artists along the way. Currently developing Kira Project, an upcoming bespoke makeover concept in the spirit of a fine portrait studio — part styled photography, part full-look transformation, offered as a paid service.
Instagram →Handles talent scouting for Elena Blair, sourcing models, makeup artists, producers and stylists for the team. Currently wears several of those hats herself within it — model, makeup artist, stylist, photographer, and social media manager.
Instagram →Studied Fine Art at Dasein Academy, with a working knowledge of art history and formal art systems. Keeps an ongoing personal practice alongside client work, spanning photography, performance and live art.
Instagram →Currently building out the personal page of a Rubik's-cube enthusiast from the ground up, shaping the account's content and voice across a run of experimental, fast-cut edits that push past the usual social-media format — visible across both the Instagram page and its TikTok companion.
