Bio
Margaret Thompson
Jennifer has been my go-to freelancer for over eight years, for both design and trend analysis needs. I know no matter what the project entails, she will go above and beyond to ensure that it is completed within the parameters given, time frame needed and to an exemplary standard. Her creativity is unparalleled and combines with a keen business sense, which makes Jennifer truly exceptional. I enjoy every opportunity we have collaborating together.
Kristen (Fitch) Regine
Dynamic, visionary, passionate...all words I use to describe Jenn as a professional and a person. Jenn has an enthusiasm for life, passion for her work and boundless energy. Forever inquisitive, she is cutting edge on trend, culture and technology. With a keen eye to identify volume driving opportunities, her designs are the perfect balance between beauty and salability. Jenn is disciplined and driven, but, demonstrates a keen sense of compassion, patience and respect. I watched her team blossom under her mentorship. It was an honor to work with one of the most talented designers / leaders in the industry. While it was only a little over a year, she has become a life long muse and friend.

Jenn is a creative visionary, an excellent communicator and a collaborative partner. She utilizes her creativity to generate innovative solutions. She actively listens to the client and translates their needs into thoughtful, beautifully designed, quality fashion jewelry. She has a broad understanding of the fashion jewelry market that enables her to work with a diverse client base. Her energy and positive attitude is a motivating force for her team and her colleagues. It was a pleasure to work with her at Lydell New York. Jenn is an asset to any creative team and has my heartfelt recommendation.
