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.

After a couple of weeks sitting on the floor in my office, the Elvis clock found a wall to call home.

I made @geekinthecity a custom denim vest for an important meeting. (His meetings are infinitely cooler and more laidback than the ones I attend.)

Met up with filmmaking legend Lloyd Kaufman so he could sign a picture of us taken 20+ years ago at the All I Need to Know About Filmmaking I Learned From The Toxic Avenger book signing. Lloyd is as charming as ever. Long live @tromateam !!!

Offsite summit with @geekinthecity where we colorfully list out our goals and where we want to be. Boldly go!

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.
