just jenn, just a {creative chick}
Interests: Jenn lives on Cape Cod, in Massachusetts, with her kitty Mister Harley. She's been papercrafting for over 10 years, and has played multiple rolls in the papercraft industry as an independent store manager, designer and teacher. With a degree in graphic design she is also Copic and Ranger certified. She has recently become part of the Creative Imaginations team. Jenn loves to show people new and clever ideas to design their cards and projects. She has a flair for the "artsy-fartsy" without going over the top. She designs her projects in the way to inspire, but not intimidate. Jenn is eager to share her creative passions with others and encourage their artistic growth.
