hello im jen!

Jen is a Chicago born Chicana illustrator and zine/comic artist. Through all stories Jen’s goal is to be open and honest when exploring the journeys of both fictional characters and her own personal narratives. Hopefully this leads to easier conversations about harder subjects and funnier jokes about shenanigans.

When she isn’t drawing Jen likes to watch animated movies, visit friends, and go for extremely long walks!
