Hi! I’m Jennifer.

As a freelancer writer, I’m inspired by lived-in spaces, beauty beneath the surface and things that draw us together while also leaving room for what makes each of us unique. Design is a big one (and I’ve covered that a ton), but I love to take on all kinds of projects that challenge and excite me in one way or another.

I have a degree in magazine journalism from the University of Missouri-Columbia, and after many years as full-time editor, I made the jump to freelance writing. I’ve been on the job for more than a decade, contracting for monthly publications like Lighting and Decor and Seattle magazine; corporate clients like Allstate and BMO Financial Group; and specialty brands like fatcork, a grower Champagne club, bottle shop and tasting room in Seattle.

I’m a native Midwesterner currently living my best colorful Colorado life. I enjoy hiking with my family, dancing to Dua Lipa and making lists for everything.
