After receiving her degree in graphic design, Jenna decided to open a collaborative design studio in 2015.  Her background in textile, pattern-making, and typography have opened doors for her to work on several projects geared towards activism and social movements, such as Hillary for America and Babes Ride Out. Jenna wants to create products and designs that catalyze social activism and political change. Each design is a conversation starter, intentionally designed to address feminism as a movement requiring intentional action beyond the conversation. Jenna donates a large portion of her profits to non-profit organizations helping women in Chicago.
