Jen Estill, Owner, Creative Director of Redhead
With a B.A. in Journalism from Michigan State University, and over 15 years of experience in marketing and communications, Jennifer combines creativity with real-world sensibilities. She's been a journalist, an art director, an editor, a marketer—and the variety of experiences has enabled her to solve almost any communications problem. "I tend to look at a design challenge from lots of angles. How does the copy flow? What will the end-user think? How should this feel?"
Jen is Redhead's founding partner, and has served a variety of clients in both the for-profit and non-profit sectors. Clients such as Ingham Intermediate School District, Governor's Council on Physical Fitness, Michigan State University Extension, Lansing State Journal, A Piece O' Cake bakery and the Fitness Council of Jackson have all relied on Jennifer to bring their creativity up a notch. She especially enjoys challenges posed by entrepreneurial businesses, and those in the education realm.
She is a mother of three (all boys!); she and her husband are avid volunteers. She currently serves on the board of Educational Child Care Center, one of Lansing's premier preschools and childcare centers. She also volunteers for the Old Town Commercial Association. In 2007, Jennifer was named one of "10 Over the Next 10"— young business people who not only excel in their fields, but who are also involved in their community and invested in mid-Michigan's revitalization. The award program is a joint effort by the Lansing Area Chamber of Commerce, the Greater Lansing Business Monthly, and Grand River Connection.
