A Bit About Me
Hi there! I'm Jenn Foote, a graphic designer, art director, and project manager. I specialize in product development and design. Throughout my career I've had the opportunity to create a variety of different products for multiple retailers, including Michaels, Ross, and Popshelf. At Craft Smith, we believed that if we could dream it up we could make it, and that allowed me to expand my skills to a variety of different product types, from stationery to party to home decor.
This same mindset is what led me to a passion project I worked on for several years. In 2019, I embarked on an adventure with my sister-in-law and a friend to create Mighty Kind, a kids magazine that promotes a global community of kids who care. Through lots of hard work and late nights we brought the publication to life and created a community of like-minded parents and kids.
I value good design, hard work, and play.
When I'm not at work you will find me in the outdoors mountain biking, hiking, camping, kayaking, and gardening. The beautiful state of Utah has lots to explore!
