JUST JORIE CREATIVE

Hello! Thanks for stopping by. Here's, a little about me: I am a loving dog mom, boardgames enthusiast, and extreme organizer. I love erasable writing utensils (especially markers- yes, they exist!). I can never make enough lists, and enjoy spending 2+ hours a week in the aisles of Target (my happy place). Growing up my parents owned a women's clothing store, and it's no doubt I get my creative side from my dad. Creating art is my meditation. I find nothing more rewarding than seeing an idea be develop, created, and become a reality.

I love to learn from challenges, collaborate with others, and understand that one is never done growing not just in their role or career, but within their own character. I truly enjoy all parts of the design and creating. I thrive on personal and project-based feedback as that advances my growth on all levels. I am always one to share my ‘outside-the-box’ perspective and flourish in environments that embrace loud ideas. In teamwork, I motivate to bring all thoughts to the table either visually or within one’s various experiences.

With my vast variety of work experience and two Bachelor of Arts Degrees, I offer a unique range of perspectives and strategic problem-solving. I am passionate and organized, enjoy collaborating and bringing new ideas to the table. I am always up for a challenge, skilled in multi-tasking, fast pace deliverables, communication, with a keen eye to detail. Aside from my tactical design work, I am an extremely digitally organized person and have taken on many project management roles aside from my formal title. Please view my growing portfolio at www.justjoriecreative.com as well as my work bringing new life to health and wellness brand Genesis Today at www.GenesisToday.com
