“Jen has been absolutely amazing. She has helped me immensely with her creating skills and business acumen. As a small business owner who isn't exactly artistically gifted she has definitely improved my advertisements bringing them from the equivalent of a kindergarten stick figure to masterpiece. She also has amazing acumen in business and I was able to see one of her presentations that was not only extremely well put together but easy to understand and follow, and best of all, not completely boring like so many I have seen. Jen is truly gifted and more than capable. I have seen more than my share of "artists" in the industry who make bold claims but Jen actually followed through. I cannot recommend her enough!”

Education
A few motion design colleagues and I started this Discord group in the spring of 2020, to critique each other's work! It quickly expanded to a big social community where we can celebrate each other's triumphs, commiserate over failed renders and broken expressions, help troubleshoot and problem solve, share inspiring works we found, and trade resources. We accept all motion designers who want to join! https://discord.gg/ZPtZJPXQjf

Volunteer
Portland Children's Museum
- 1 year 7 months
Children
I volunteered in the clay studio/glaze corner -encouraging kids to think of creative stories based on their clay creations, and helping bring their creations to life with shiny paint! Every month had a different theme and new exhibits/events to help out with. The Portland Children's Museum was dedicated to making visible the ways children think, imagine, design, invent, and create when given intelligent materials including the tools of the arts and sciences. I’m so sad that they had to close…
