ABOUT ME
Visual storytelling, elevated.
Hello, I’m Jenese.
Senior Multimedia Designer | Creative Strategist | Visual Storyteller
I’m a multidisciplinary designer who believes great design does more than look good—it communicates, connects, and inspires action.
With over a decade of experience across print, web, video, and interactive media, I’ve partnered with organizations ranging from higher education institutions to national brands to bring ideas to life through thoughtful, strategic design. My work lives at the intersection of creativity and purpose, where visual storytelling becomes a powerful tool for engagement.
My Approach
I don’t just design—I solve problems.
Every project begins with understanding the why: the audience, the message, and the outcome. From there, I translate complex ideas into clear, compelling visuals that are not only aesthetically strong, but also intentional and effective.
Whether I’m building a WordPress site, developing motion graphics, or designing a full-scale event experience, my focus is always the same: create work that resonates and delivers results.
THE BRIEF
This is the most important of all the design process steps for it should provide all the details that willguide the flow of the entire project.
RESEARCH
Proper research leads the direction the design is will take and all future decisions relating to the project.
REFINE & DESIGN
Use the collection of client/team feedback to further refine final concepts.
BUILD & TEST
Create final print-ready design(s). For web projects, stage multiple testing phases to finalize.
LAUNCH/PRINT
Send print-ready final files for production. Web projects are launched at the final URL.
What I Do Best
My expertise spans a wide range of creative disciplines, including:
- Web & WordPress Design
- Motion Graphics & Animation
- Corporate & Event Design
- Branding & Visual Identity
- Print & Digital Marketing Materials
While my skillset is diverse, I specialize in crafting cohesive visual experiences that connect across platforms—from screen to stage to print.
Who I Work With
I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with organizations such as: Virginia Commonwealth University, CarMax, Sony Music Distribution, the City of Costa Mesa, and more.
No matter the client or industry, my goal is always the same:
to create work that reflects their vision while elevating their brand.
Beyond the Work
I’m a Richmond native with a passion for creativity in all forms— from design and storytelling to movement and performance. That creative energy influences everything I do, shaping a perspective that is both strategic and expressive.
