She has a degree in Conceptual Graphic Design from Salford University.

Approach

It all begins with a concept – or several of them – which is visualised via Jenny’s Apple Pencil, iMac, iPad and Adobe Creative Suite. She is equally adept drawing and creating with vector graphics.

Style

Bringing her unique, hand-drawn aesthetic to the fore, Jenny’s style is as individual and impactful as it is versatile. Clear, bold, brave and energetic are some of the words clients use to describe it.
