This is ME.

Jennifer Medema

In a grayscale world, my job is to add color. As an artist, I've always viewed the world through rose-colored glasses…that maybe sometimes have post-it note eyelashes on them.

I have been creating art for as long as I can remember, I think I was born with a crayon in my hand. I'm a sucker for excellent packaging—I bought my family soda for Christmas because the cans looked like Pantone chips! And yes, it was pretty good. I have a "less is more" approach to design, you truly can say a lot more with less. (So maybe I should end it here?) And whatever you do, please don't ask me to make a collage… Remember, less is more.


So what more can I say about myself? For those who want to know, here’s a little more detail:
