About
PERPETUAL WORK IN PROGRESS.
I am a Senior Designer, currently based out of the Missoula, MT area. I have worked as a professional in the marketing and design industry for more than eleven years, with both agency and corporate experience.
I currently provide marketing support as the U.S. Graphic Designer for BIOTRONIK Inc, an international medical technology company that specializes in improving the lives of patients suffering from cardiovascular and endovascular diseases. During my time with BINC I have served as the only Graphic Designer in the U.S., facilitating the creation and updates of product manuals, marketing collateral, tradeshow event displays, digital presentations, and more. If you are interested in connecting with me in regards to a project or position, please feel free to reach out to me directly at jen@jenganders.com. I look forward to working with you!
