Hi, I’m Jen. I’m an award-winning, strategic creative leader and designer currently taking applications for a new creative team to call home.
I’ve spent the last 15 years navigating the hair-on-fire energy of the agency world at Appleton Creative and the deep-dive strategy of Fortune 500 in-house teams like Cigna Healthcare. Think of me as a creative Swiss Army Knife—only less dangerous and much better at Figma.
I've spent my career turning "we need this to look cool" into "wow, this is actually driving results," I’ve mastered the art of bridging the gap between complex business problems and design that humans actually enjoy looking at. I’ve spent years navigating the hair-on-fire energy of the agency world and the deep-dive strategy of a Fortune 500 in-house team. That experience has given me the agility to pivot from a messy whiteboard brainstorming session to a polished boardroom pitch without spilling my iced lavender almond milk latte.
I’m currently accepting new opportunities and dog photos. Reach out on my contact page, and don’t forget to drop your favorite color in the form—I promise not to judge you if it’s beige.
