About

Jenn has done a lot of different design jobs in a lot of different places, ranging from newspaper design to website troubleshooting to web design.

She has run her own business, Rosebud Designs, since 2009. Before that, she worked as a freelance designer for several years, with clients such as the California Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages (CATESOL), Goldey-Beacom College in Delaware, the University of Delaware, Sacramento City College, the Asian American Journalists Association, the Sacramento Asian Pacific Chamber of Commerce, and Rotary Club of Sacramento.

In addition to working as a designer, Jenn also has a background in teaching and training. She worked as a coordinator at the Design Lab in the Graphic Communications department at Sacramento City College, overseeing a student tutor and helping students with software and design questions and handling the printing of large-format posters and prints and helping students mount their prints. She has also been a guest speaker at various schools in the Sacramento area, including Sacramento City College and the Art Institute of Sacramento, and taught WordPress workshops.

In a previous life, she spent 10 years in the newspaper business as a sportswriter, copy editor, page designer and online producer.

In her spare time, you can find Jenn living and dying with the fates of her favorite sports teams (USC Trojans, Pittsburgh Steelers, Philadelphia Phillies and Los Angeles Kings), making jewelry, knitting on trains, wandering around with a camera and occasionally playing instruments and writing music as part of the husband-wife duo Of the Fountain. She currently lives in Los Angeles.
