jenna is a recent graduate of the graphic design program at virginia commonwealth university school of the arts. she has a double minor in art history, and risk management & insurance. her practice is focused heavily on the importance of research in both the design and iterative processes. she hopes to incorporate more historical based work, and writing elements, into her practice. she also has the hopes of including historical queer culture into her work; giving voices to those that no longer have them. her work has been shown in virginia, italy, south carolina, north carolina and tennessee. she worked on a research project to redesign the 1755 mitchell map to highlight the landmarks of the cherokee people, exploring her fascination with cartography in relation to history.
