Spotlight Work

Hello! My name is Jennifer Stank and I graduated from Kutztown University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Communication Design. During my time there I had the privilege to experiment with various approaches to design. Learning a little bit of everything made me love a little bit of everything. I've always had a hunger to learn more no matter the subject which influences how I design. I'm the type of person that likes to run towards challenges instead of away from them and I'm eager to see what the future holds!
Design is only one of the many sides of my personality. I know my way around a bow and really enjoy shooting in the free time that I get. I've only ever done target practice but it's one of my favorite ways to clear my head and get in touch with my outdoor self. I hope to upgrade my bow in the nearby future and get back out there.
Easily one of my favorite things to do outside of work is shoot pool. Oddly enough, this is how my parents met and I guess it ran in my blood. It was only a matter of time before I picked up a pool stick. Once I did, I was never able to put it back down. My hope is to join a league someday like my Dad, but until then I'll continue to enjoy shooting recreationally.
I. Love. Cars!! I've always been fascinated with the way cars work and the evolution of where they started and what they are today. It all began when my Dad would teach me about how they work and how to fix them, and well, the rest was history. I went to my first car show in the summer of 2018 and I can't wait for the next one. My dream is to fix one up for myself some day, and I intend on achieving that dream.
