JESSICA BROWN

Jessica Brown, the founder of SmithBrown Signature Travel, is on a mission to redefine the face of the American traveler. Based in the DMV area, she specializes in luxury, group, and legacy travel, curating immersive experiences that go beyond the ordinary. Her journey into the travel industry began during the COVID lockdown when she connected with inspiring travel advisors on Clubhouse. Their passion ignited a realization—she could turn her love for exploration into a career that creates opportunities for travelers, especially those in underrepresented communities, to see the world in meaningful ways.

Since then, Jessica has built a business rooted in depth, connection, and intention, ensuring her clients experience travel that is both enriching and transformative. She is deeply committed to increasing diversity in the travel space, believing that everyone deserves to see themselves reflected in the industry.

Jessica’s first experience at the Future Leaders in Travel in 2024 was a turning point in her career, providing invaluable connections with industry partners and like-minded advisors. More than just a networking event, Future Leaders reinforced her belief in collaboration and the power of community within the travel industry. As a 2025 Guide, she’s excited to share her knowledge, uplift the next wave of travel professionals, and continue building relationships that strengthen the industry as a whole.
