Home > About > Who We Are
Everyone says that your belief system is formed at a very young age and that certainly rings true for Jenny Sweeney. As a child, Jenny was a bit of a throwback with a fearless and fancy-free attitude. Her mother was a pioneer of recycling when “green” was only a crayon. Jenny grew up without the modern distractions like video games, internet or TV everynight. Instead, she was able to hone her imagination allowing her to invent her day. She was a collector even at a young age and to this day, surrounds herself with familiar things she loves. Jenny is a creature of comfort and doesn’t seek out the overdone. She sees the beauty in age-old, worn vitange pieces but with an unexpected glamour. She has a style unique to her flair for finding and making a piece to treasure..
Meet the gang!
Linda Petersen, Creative Pioneer
“EO” Jenny's mom, has a huge responsibility here at JSD. She happens to be our Top Glitter Girl and we take glitter very seriously. Not only does she keep the glitter in the lines but she keeps us on track too. We think of her as our fearless leader who showed us the way to recycle and repurpose with passion. As an animal advocate, she rescues all kinds of critters. Some days, we think she rescues us.
Sue Keating, Inventory Manager.
“Susie” , Jenny's aunt, has always had a good grasp on counting...thus, she manages all our stuff so we don’t run out. We are all quite sure her brain has been glued together like a seamless puzzle. We just can’t figure it out but we know it’s all good. She is creative and sews better than Besty Ross ever did. She, too, is an organized little lady.
Jennie Cornell, Design Director
“JC” might be the biggest goofball in our glittered world but she is faithful and loves everyone around her with reckless abandon. We love her back even more. She is creative beyond words and finds everything around her simply “amazing.” We heart JC. And so do all of our clients. We are lucky to have her.
Pete
“Petie”, Jenny's cousin, is our official office helper. While he may be the silliest in the office, Petie gives the world’s best hugs…and who doesn’t need one of those everyday? He is a huge Cubs fan and even crazier…he loves female body builders! We think that’s what makes Petie so fun…he thinks outside the box but plays nice everyday.
Ethan Sweeney
“Beef & Cheese” is Jenny's 13 year old son. Quick witted and funny, Ethan penned a classic cult card for his mama years ago, “Oh, I just pick my nose, do you?” He is wise beyond his years but still loves what most teenage boys love…Xbox and fishing. He makes tons of videos and digs music too.
Spencer Sweeney
“Doodle” is Jenny's 11 year old son. Kinda like his mama, he is the “goofinater” who can sing a song out of any old phrase. He is a contsant source of inspiration and loves animals and skateboarding. He like to ask lots of questions and wonders when he will get a sugar glider...
Making things is such a treat! Take a look at my creative process and some of our work in the studio section of our site.
