About Jenn
I work with independent business owners to define the value of their work and take their business to the next level.
“The work we’ve done together has helped me fall back in love with my business, and that fact has me booked solid.” – Janet Brewer
Hairstylist, Janet Brewer, was struggling with the typical feast or famine roller coaster that many independent business owners face. I helped Janet identify the true value she brings to her customers. Through our conversations, we discovered that she thinks of her work as art, her business as a relationship builder, and hair as a frame for the beautiful face. She is a conceptual, mad scientist who has literally become the secret weapon her clients employ to get beautiful hair.
Together we created a new tag line for her business, “Janet Brewer, Your secret ingredient for beautiful hair,” and we conceptualized an appointment card around that concept.
For the past 9 years, I’ve worked with small businesses like Janet’s and on the creative teams of international brands such as, Chrysler Jeep, U.S Postal Service, and Diet Coke to communicate their message to a large audience. As an independent producer, photographer, and creative lead, I build creative processes between values, ideas and desired outcomes. Where there is no clear path, I create one.
I love the relationships I’ve made with individuals, like Janet, along the way. Whether I am behind the camera, or leading the team, I draw out the uniqueness of others, and encourage them to shine brightly. This ability to draw out strengths, combined with my love for learning, personal growth, and a life long calling to make ideas reality brings me here to my current business venture and you.
10 Things about me that are cool:
:
- I was on figure skates at 2 years old, and I competed until I was 12 years old.
- At 9 years old, I said, “Dad, I’m going to make some money by raking leaves. My plan is to charge $1.50 for my bag and $1 for theirs’.” I averaged $45 per lawn in a working class suburb of Detroit. That still blows his mind.
- In 1998, I was co-captain of my dance team in high school. We won second place at states, but my team was so tight that our excitement stole the cover shot of the newspaper from the winners.
- After graduating from art school, I printed a business card that said, “Jenn Morgan, Photo Assistant, How do you make ideas real?” I’ve been an independent ever since.
- I spent 2 months mountain biking in Moab, UT, Durango and Ouray, CO and Downieville, CA before moving to Seattle, WA (where I now live)
- My partner Derek and I live in and run our photography business out of an artist loft in the industrial neighborhood of SODO.
- I’ve led 5.11 sport climb at Squamish, BC. (outdoor rocking and mountain climbing)
- The first time I rappelled off the side of a cliff was on Roger’s Corner in Index, WA. (That is a 200’ descent and my friend Tim had me on safety. Luckily, because I let go and he caught me.)
- I’ve danced the tango in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
- Derek and I are passionate bike riders.We’ve ridden to the top of Mt. Baker and other various mountain passes in the North Cascades. We are planning to go to the Tour de France in 2012.
