Jen

Brand Designer

Jen always enjoyed re-designing and re-organizing things – her house, her lists, even her homework as a kid. She has continually been more concerned with how things looked – how things come across visually. Those that she found pleasing to the eye would determine whether she’d want to take the time to engage or not. Jen has been that way all her life, sometimes to a fault (like when she wants to re-design her living room when she had just finished it up a year prior). Always editing, always directing on how things can work better visually and communicate stronger. Jen describes design as an outlet – a place for expression, a place for emotion, even a place for risk. Design is everywhere in everything – how impossible to become bored with life!
