Which consistently lead to the question “are you an artist?” and garnered her quite a few freelance jobs. In the early nineties, Jenn landed a job at Universal One Stop in Philadelphia. Initially she worked in sales as the Assistant Sales Manager, designing sales campaigns and increasing consumer awareness. She eventually worked her way through the company to become the head of Advertising. Jenn’s innovative new ideas improved the overall look of the companies marketing and advertising material and gave the sales force an abundance of new tools. She worked closely with all the major and independent record labels on targeted ad campaigns, which delivered results. All of which lead to a substantial increased advertising revenues. Though for many years the job was incredibly rewarding, Jenn eventually yearned for more control professionally. At the end of 1996 after a five-year stint as Advertising Director, she started her own graphic design company, Images Everything. 2007 marks Images Everything’s 10-year Anniversary. Clients have included Philadelphia Eagle: Bobby Taylor, Sony Music, recording artist: Music Soulchild, U.S. Senator Tom Carper, University of Pennsylvania Museum, and McDonalds.

The magazine was distributed through the Family of Independent Record Merchants stores around the NE United States. Putting all of her experience to good use, in 2002 Jenn founded Kemistre, an artist network that provides information and advice to independent artists. She is also a founding member of the Philadelphia based production company Citizen Wumpus and in 2005, started her own production company with partner Jackson Walker appropriately named Another Walker Phillips Production.
