Hi! I’m Jen!
It is a pleasure to meet you! I am a wife to a wonderful husband (of 18+ years), a mother to two (older) kiddos, three dogs, and two cats. Everyday is an adventure around here! We’ve recently relocated to Iowa and I’m excited to start this next chapter in our lives.
I began my adventures in the design world 25+ years ago as a self-taught designer. I started furthering my adventures through self-studying brand development and target audience/marketing ten years ago. I continue to find the ever-changing world of design and social media to be a challenge that keeps me coming back for more!
I firmly believe in celebrating the chaos that makes life fun!

Get to know me on a personal level…
I love personality tests. Here are a few of my results and links to take them yourself!

What does that mean for me, personally?
I see the bright side of almost any situation. It is something I pride myself on. We all have crap that happens, but being able to look at it from a different perspective is important and a tool that will serve you for the rest of your life.
Rarely do I do passive relationships. When I connect, I am all in. I love to connect with clients on a BFF level and really make a relationship with them that lasts a lifetime.
I approach life with an open heart and open mind because I want to be part of what is good in the world.

My passion lies within coaching, serving, and my community. I thrive on embracing my community, whether online or at home. I strive to connect with my clients on a BFF level and maintain a relationship that goes above and beyond.
I have a never-ending curiosity that enables me to keep on top of an ever-changing task. The love of learning, for me, also means a love of sharing that knowledge and create innovative ways to teach clients how to use that knowledge.

Sparketype says, “When you see the lights of discovery go on in the faces of others, it's magic. But, for you, it's not enough to simply "convey information," you want those you teach or mentor to truly "get it," and you want to be engaged and inspired at every step along the way.”
This couldn’t be more true. I don’t want to just teach. I want to teach the information and coach how to use that information. I want to be there with my clients every step of the way to guide and encourage.

“At their Best: inspired and highly creative, they are able to renew themselves and transform their experiences.”
This is one of the things that allows me to see the positive side of almost any situation. This is a skill that I use daily. Life throws curveballs all the time. You can’t just ignore it because it will build up, so you have to process it and then see how it can work in your favor.

“You perceive it as a personal mission to help others utilize their potential and to experience success. As the result, you look for ways to facilitate their learning process - from challenging their thoughts in a discussion to creating environments which would facilitate learning process. You are one of those leaders that really care about the development of team members and they really appreciate it.”
I really don’t know how to add to this, it is just perfectly, truthfully worded.
