Hi, I'm Jen. Let's create something together.
Web
All of the websites I design contain dynamic elements to create an enjoyable and seamless user experience. I enjoy incorporating eye catching visuals like subtle video and details like custom icons and maps.
I’ve worked with several types of businesses, though my specialty is working with small businesses that offer local services.
With every website, I work with the business to ensure that the website is optimized for customer experience on mobile, tablet and desktop. I also ensure the images, videos, and all copy are optimized for SEO.
Photo
My specialties are photos of kiddos, professional headshots, and photos of food. I spent a lot of time behind the camera creating daily social media and recipe photo content for two brands over the course of 8 years. I have experience performing complicated edits in Photoshop like clipping and combining photos and color correcting difficult lighting scenarios. Photography types showcased here:
- Professional Headshots
- Family Photos
- Senior Portraits
- Product Shots
- Food Styling + Photos
- Advertorial
- Engagement Photos
- Events
- Sports
- Birthday Portraits
Design
I’ve been designing advertisements, POS, packaging, and graphics for content for over a decade. I’ve also done stationery and signage for weddings and parties. I’m proficient in the following tools:
- Adobe Illustrator
- Adobe Photoshop
- Canva
- Adobe After Effects
- Adobe Premiere Pro
- Cricut
About Me
In a nutshell, I’m a story teller and creative problem solver. I thrive in a team or collaborative setting where we can build on each other’s ideas to create a compelling story with our medium – whether that’s a branding project, website, or other creative endeavor.
Professionally, I hold the title of Director of Marketing and Communications at Isaly’s and Conroy Foods where I manage the marketing, social media, advertising, and communications for two brands: Beano’s Deli Condiments and Isaly’s Chipped Ham and Ice Cream. Freelancing started out with friends and family needing little creative things done here and there and turned into a genuine passion of mine.
Outside of work, my family is my world. I have a young son and husband who mean absolutely everything to me. We love theater, we love to hike, travel, ski, and build puzzles together. My husband and I also enjoy staying active by running in the Pittsburgh Half Marathon. I’m addicted to podcasts, reading, and iced coffee.
I’m so passionate about intuitive and functional design that when I’m not working my day job, freelancing, or spending time with my family, I’m usually driving my family nuts with a home renovation project. Right now, I’m very slowly chipping away at one of our bathrooms.
