About me.
Author, veteran, graphic designer, strategist, photographer, speaker, entrepreneur & creative-of-many-talents behind the one-woman creative company,
Jeanette has been creative and artistic her entire life; instead of actively pursuing a career in the arts, she enlisted in the United States Marine Corps to serve our country. After being honorably discharged, she returned to school as a single mother of three. Jeanette earned a diploma in Network Engineering and Data Communication, an Associate of Science in Digital Arts & Animation, and a bachelor’s degree in Multimedia Arts & Design.
She can still remember how, from the moment she could pick up a pencil, she relentlessly drew, scribbled, painted, and explored every creative outlet she could. After being honorably discharged from the military in 1998, she slowly found her way down the path to her true passion.
Unfortunately, being a single mother prevented her from fully embracing the opportunity to pursue a full-time design career, so she freelanced in her spare time. Jeanette continued to work in Administration with the Federal Government for over 15 years. With her love for art and design lingering, she decided to retire from her Federal government job as an Administrative Officer. She is now working on transforming her early self-taught explorations of art and graphic design into a business and an entrepreneur.
Over the years, she has had the privilege of collaborating with talented individuals, entrepreneurs, non-profit organizations, small businesses, and many other amazing people to help make their dreams a reality. By cultivating and learning from these relationships, she is building wealth, educating others, using her story as a testimony for others, and encouraging others to do the same.
