Jennifer Mara – Artist and Designer
When I was 6 years old, growing up in Massachusetts, I knew that I would someday be a professional Artist and Designer. I fulfilled my dream of going to art college at Kansas City Art Institute. My major was Industrial Design, and now I work in the field of Mechanical Engineering. After completing my bachelor’s degree, I lived in Arizona and worked in product design & development for international brand Lisa Frank, creating school supplies, toys and accessories for young girls. I have worked as a graphic designer for numerous companies and freelance projects. I have volunteered as a mentor and art teacher at a leadership camp for middle school age girls called Madam President Camp. I really enjoy all types of Design but some of my favorites are Branding/Logo Design, Furniture Design, and Architecture. I love creating art as a printmaker and drawing in my sketchbook.
