Founder, Designer, and Marketing Consultant

Allow Me To Introduce Myself

Hello, my name is Jen Strum. My relationship to graphic design is a bit like those rom-coms where the protagonist somehow never realizes their perfect match is their best friend, though they were there all along. I started drawing at a very young age, and I drew often. If I was in a waiting room or some other not-so-kid-friendly place (like a bank or other adult errands parents have to drag kids along to), I was instantly entertained and contented by being given a pad and pencil.

As an entrepreneur, I sought after ways to turn my passions into businesses. While I had passion for whatever work I did, unlike most small business owners, I had a passion for marketing and graphic design as well. While many small business owners dread having to market their businesses and creating branding or marketing assets, it was something I loved doing and missed when my other work didn't leave time for me to engage in marketing and design in a hands-on manner.

I sought after more formal education in logo design, branding, and graphic design, while also catching up on marketing trends, innovation, and digital marketing knowledge to supplement my bachelor's degree in marketing. I love to help others through my work, and I love coming up with creative ideas and solutions.

If my passion for marketing and graphic design can help another entrepreneur or small business owner to spend time pursuing their passions and doing the part of their job that means the most to them, I consider that a win-win.
