I own Penn Creative. Here's my bio from our website:
Jenny holds a bachelor’s degree in history from Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida. She spent more than a decade as co-publisher and marketing and advertising director for two national magazines—overseeing staff, managing business operations and developing promotional initiatives. It was while running Style 1900 and Modernism magazines that Jenny developed her appreciation for good design—ranging from fine art, architecture and furniture to graphic design. She also honed her sales and marketing acumen, developing a special fondness for meeting up with her clients in person at trade shows around the world. Since joining Penn Creative in 2012, Jenny has focused on developing client relationships centered around respect and excellent communication. She ensures all business goals and objectives are reached—for both Penn Creative and its clients. Jenny's days also entail writing and editing, collaborating with clients and colleagues, and generating new business. When she’s not working, Jenny enjoys spending time in the great outdoors, reading nonfiction, and cooking elaborate meals at 2 a.mMore...
From 2008 to 2017 I worked as a designer and illustrator in Philadelphia while earning my Masters in Arts Administration at Drexel University. The Arts Administration program, which heavily focused on leadership in the arts, was the first step of many in becoming an arts advocate, a public speaker and the founder of a design/illustration firm that would concentrate on collaborating with organizations rooted in community service.
In 2017, I relocated to Ecuador with my husband to build a global design firm and work remotely with companies in North and South America.
In 2022, Rock & Roar Creative shifted into the publishing scene, writing and illustrating children’s books and editing memoirs for international professionals. Publishing is where we thrive, bringing stories to life with memorable character illustrations and storylines that tug at the heartstrings.More...
