Jen Kendall

communicator. creator. connector.

Part performer, part educator, part designer — and fully the kind of person who will make you feel like the most important one in the room. That's just how I'm wired.

See My Story Say Hello

Who I Am

Warm, wired for people, and a little extra.

I'm a fantastic communicator (I don't say that lightly — it's genuinely my superpower), a seasoned performer, a kids' ministry veteran, and a graphic designer who wandered into the craft and never looked back.

I've been on stages around the world, in classrooms full of five-year-olds, and hunched over a design file at midnight. All three feel like home.

No college degree — no debt, some regret, and an education made entirely from doing the thing. Turns out that works pretty well.

The Stage

From local productions to international stages, I've spent fifteen years performing in front of audiences of every size and temperament. I know how to read a room, hold attention, and land a moment. I also know how to recover gracefully when everything goes sideways — because it always does, eventually.

Fifteen years of stage work is a masterclass in communication, presence, and the rare ability to make a crowd of strangers feel like family.

The Classroom

Director of Kids Club East Side. I've built an entire career out of one simple skill: making kids feel completely, absolutely, unshakeably comfortable.

It's harder than it sounds. Kids are professional lie detectors. They know immediately whether you're the real deal. I've passed that test a few thousand times. Also: expert-level juice box opener. It's on my résumé.

The Studio

Turns out the calligraphy was always a clue. I design and develop brand identity implemented across a national corporation — and I don't just make the thing look good. I sell leadership on why it matters, making the case for consistent messaging and a visual identity strong enough to stand out among competitors. That's a different skill set entirely, and I have it.

I've generated real buzz with innovative booth designs at national conferences, and equipped sales teams with creative collateral that actually lands. My particular superpower? Taking a half-baked idea and turning it into something polished, clear, and built for every kind of audience. I develop teaching materials and slide decks that hold attention, generate conversation, and leave people with a clear next step.

Half the job, honestly, is helping people figure out what they're actually asking for in the first place. The other half is making the bland beautiful — in Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop — and delivering work that any organization would be proud to put its name on.

No college degree. Life has taught me most of what I know.
Former Dinosaur.* The asterisk matters. I'll explain.
