Hi, I’m Jenna Rose
I am an art director, photographer, strategist, social media manager, graphic designer, copywriter, and the list goes on. You probably looked through my portfolio and asked yourself,
“Why can’t this gal just pick a lane?”
To be completely honest, the life of a “one-trick pony” sounds incredibly boring to me. I do so much because I need it. I can feel it in my heart when I suppress my urge to be creative or make something. I am a process person. While it is fun, I enjoy the process more than the presentation of the final product. I can confidently tell you that I was put on this earth to make things. I believe what Picasso said about everyone being born an artist. I never grew out of it, and my family never tried to redirect me away from expression. I embraced creativity from a young age, and it is ingrained in who I am. I can connect people and make them happy by doing something I love. I can't think of why I wouldn't want to do that for the rest of my life
What am I passionate about?
Bringing people together who think they have nothing in common.
Telling uplifting and inclusive stories through creative channels.
Inspiring positive change in the world.
Who do I look up to?
Mary Blair | She was an animation concept artist, colorist, and designer. She was prominent in producing art for The Walt Disney Company. (Wikipedia)
Artemesia Gentileschi | She was the first woman to become a member of the Accademia delle Arti del Disegno. (Wikipedia) She was also a total badass.
Mary Ellen Matthews | Saturday Night Live portrait photographer
Baz Luhrmann | The Director of some of my favorite, theatrical, over-the-top movies of all time
