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.

Reunited with an old handcrafted friend. My birth dad is one of the reasons I’m quick to respond with, “Hey, we could totally build that.” All of my parents really played a role in this, and I’m super fortunate.

Kind of obsessed with designing puzzles right now. This is one of my leather puzzle prototypes.

Suede jigsaw puzzle inspired by black velvet paintings.

Nailed it! Two sisters, one hour, a box-mix cake, a sheet of crispy rice treats, two cups of buttercream, and an assortment of sweet adornments.

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.
