Jennifer Schnell

I am a multi-faceted designer living in San Francisco.

I recently graduated from California College of the Arts with an MFA in Design. My MFA thesis focused on physical and metaphysical manifestations of community in a speculative future. I grew up in the north suburbs of Chicago and earned a dual BFA in Graphic Design + Printmaking with a minor in Spanish from Colorado State University.

Primarily a visual designer, my work includes branding + identity, print + web design, publication design, illustration, environment design, user experience design, interaction design, and design research. Currently I am the Communications Manager for the MFA Design program at CCA, and a freelance designer. On the side, I own and run Alchemy+Ink exhibiting and selling fine art prints and jewelry.

Outside of the studio, I can be found camping along the Pacific coast with her partner in their '89 Volkswagen Vanagon, collecting feathers and bones, dabbling in metalsmithing, and taking arial dance classes. I love philosophy, cultural anthropology, architecture, coffee, cocktails, and her cat Marlowe. Read Less
