HEY,
I’m Jenn.
It’s nice to meet you.
I’M SO GLAD YOU’RE HERE
My Job is to Make You Shine Bright Like a
⟡ Diamond ⟡
Yours is to relax knowing you can spend more time focusing on your zone of genius.
With my organic approach to building brands, I focus on working with impact-driven businesses that want to leave the world a better place than they found it. I don’t believe in guarantees, but I do believe in hard work and consistent efforts that generate real results.
My goal is to help you build a brag-worthy brand, not just grow a business. I learned the hard way that it takes more than a great marketing strategy to have a truly sustainable business, and that lesson made me obsessed with learning all about branding. From the visuals to the message you put out into the world, let me be your go-to brand director.
MY BACKGROUND
Designer, Illustrator, & Brand Strategist
My career officially started in 2010 as the sole employee of a startup chiropractic office in Western Pennsylvania. In just six months of opening, I helped the company win Business of the Year Award as well as the 2011 Reader’s Choice Bronze Award within the same year. We quickly went from chasing patients to patients asking for us by name. That job kickstarted my journey to entrepreneurship in ways I couldn’t even imagine.
In my 12+ years of combined experience in the world of marketing and design, I discovered a love of growing small businesses. This led me to co-launching my first business in 2015 with a business partner where we doubled our own sales year over year and became a six-figure company.
Now, as a solopreneur since 2019, I’m dedicated to turning purpose-driven businesses into valuable brands. I’m lucky that I’ve been able to combine my passions of art and storytelling into a career, and I want to support others in continuing to follow their dreams, too.

Brand Values
JCDM believes in challenging the status quo and is committed to quality over quantity. Just because someone else does something one way doesn’t mean that’s exactly how we will do it. We find what works for the end goal, not based on what is trending.
Although remote, the JCDM environment is one that strives to always be inclusive and welcoming. People matter, and JCDM is committed to positively impacting people’s lives. There is absolutely no room for bullying or hatred here.
Because we only get one earth, JCDM is always finding more ways to be environmentally-friendly along with giving back to communities and important causes when possible. We are dedicated to reducing our carbon footprint and contribution to pollution.

- My husband, my teammate, my favorite person to travel with (enter all other cliches here)
- Art & drawing: One of my main sources of fulfillment
- Hiking & nature: There’s nothing like being surrounded by fresh air and endless views away from screens.
