Hi! I'm Jenn.
I’m a multi-disciplinary maker who loves to learn new ways of making things — taking classes, watching videos, and trying stuff out on my own. Knitting, spinning yarn, sewing clothing, and leather-working are some of the disciplines I work in. Many of my projects use all sorts of reclaimed and recycled items.

Re-constructing a pair of tall suede Frye boots.

Trying out some leather tooling techniques on vintage Timberland chukka boots.

Fell in love with Hawaiian gummy bears, but not the ubiquitous aspartame that is found in most bags, so I decided to make my own from scratch.

Snorkeling is one of my new favorite things. So peaceful! I started out in what I think of as the “kiddie pool” at the resort which was a very controlled environment then moved on to the open ocean lagoons nearby.

About Jenn

My goal is to inspire people to try new things. I’ve been craft-failing forward for years, and I believe that failure isn’t the opposite of success. It is part of it.
