JENNY ZEMANEK

Jenny is a lifelong lover of all things creative. What started with happy scribbles at a young age grew into a pursuit of photography and graphic design before she found a home with illustration and hand-lettering.

Revelling in the joys of small decorative details, Jenny finds ways to add personality to her hand-drawn lettering. She lives in Columbus, Ohio with her husband and two rescue dogs.

Jenny went to school for film and photography. Her degree included both subjects, but after her first year she was required to choose only one to pursue, and she ended up surprising herself by following the photography path rather than the film path as she initially intended.

Jenny fell madly in love with the storytelling capability of a single still visual, something she finds every bit as compelling today in her illustration and lettering work as she did then.

Clients include Sterling Publishing, Templar Publishing, Out of Print, Flame Tree Publishing, American Greetings, Olympia Le Tan, Design House Greetings, Wentworth Puzzles, Macmillan, Rakuten Kobo, Harper Collins, and Raspberry Books.
