A little about me

Hiya! I’m Jendy

I'm a curious soul who's always looking for ways to improve and better myself whilst exploring the world. I was born and raised in Colorado, later moving to New York at the age of 16.

I'm passionate about designing, building products/application that really make a positive impact, and finally just having fun with what i do! 👏
