Hi. I’m Jen.

Welcome to JDR-CREATIVE, where I showcase some of my work and creations.

I’m an artist and activist, with 26+ years of experience in design/photography/illustration and 16+ years specializing in the progressive political and advocacy space.

I am excited to utilize both my creative talents and passion for advocacy, in order to create meaningful, visual imagery that delivers.

As an invisibly disabled culture worker, my latest challenge is collaborating with nonprofit Disability Culture Lab to shift the narrative on disability from one of fear and pity to one of solidarity and liberation.

I’m passionate about life, creative engagement, and helping others. When I’m not advocating or creating, I enjoy spending time with family and friends. After losing my awesome pitbull rescue, Agapi to cancer, I am now the mom of another amazing rescue pitbull named Pinky.
