Hi, I’m Jenny! I’m a freelance designer, art director and ceramic artist based in Manhattan, Kansas.

I grew up in a woodsy New England town, part of a family of carpenters, tailors, craft store managers, engine mechanics, painters, and wild mushroom foragers. Combining my love for puff paint, Sculpey, Super Nintendo and Calvin & Hobbes, I moved to Boston to pursue my passion for art. I received my BFA in Illustration and Animation from Massachusetts College of Art and Design.

My first big break was as a production artist - and later, art director - on eight seasons of WordGirl, an awesome animated TV show for PBS Kids. Since then, I’ve worked as a freelance art director and production artist, managing creative teams and designing 2D art for animation. This spans concept art, character design, background art, and prop design for tv shows, web series, and mobile apps. My recent clients include Netflix, Disney Jr, Warner Bros, and I art directed Wally’s Opening Day for the Boston Red Sox, which won an Emmy!

Six years ago, I found myself searching for a three-dimensional outlet for my artwork in addition to my 2D digital illustration work. So, I rekindled my childhood love for clay and took classes at Harvard University’s Ceramics Program. The rest is history! Making functional ware decorated with my illustrations is how I spend nearly all my free time these days. I recently moved to the Midwest, and can currently be found painting skulls, snakes and bubble letters on clay at Kansas State University.
