A mogul across social media marketing, the creative gal works tirelessly to shape and nurture the JUMBLED brand, pulling collaborations out of every brightly-coloured pocket of any ensemble she wears.
Though it's like choosing a "favourite child" amid Orange's talented culinary scene, Mrs Conliffe loves The Union Bank for a delicious experience; and says she never misses a single night market in town to explore each tasty, sip-worthy corner.
One hidden gem in the Central West - much to her husband's dismay for letting the cat out of the bag, she says - this creative director's secret spot of favourites is tucked away in Long Point along the 4WD track between Mudgee and Orange.
But when the couple aren't relaxing by the river with their dog, Jasper, during a well-earned getaway - you'll find her right back in JUMBLED territory.
In our next 'Five questions with ... ' feature piece, we learn more about the 'joyful jestiny', Jess Conliffe.
