Bio
Shaun Fynn
Jenny was the project editor for my book, Chandigarh Revealed / Le Corbusier's City Today. Her vital contribution brought both clarity and cohesion to the book through her in depth knowledge of the subject and eloquence and precision in written expression. Jenny also brings a thoroughness and rigor to the editing process that was invaluable to the successful completion of the book content and narrative. She is also a consummate professional and a pleasure to work with. Shaun Fynn

I've had the pleasure of working with Jenny at two different museums -- the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum and The Museum of Modern Art -- and have found her to be meticulous and professional in every aspect of her work. She cares about getting it done right, on time, and on budget. On one occasion in particular, she was brought in to rescue a complicated project that was in dire straits, and she contributed a lot to making it a success. Jenny has experience in editorial, writing, rights negotiations, and artist and image permissions -- areas in which she would be valuable to any arts organization. I have a lot of respect for her abilities and am happy to speak with anyone in more detail about the work we have done together.
