About

Hi, my name is Jennah Synnestvedt, and here’s my story.

I was born in Boulder, Colorado, and raised in a tiny mountain town named Ward. A gold mining turned hippie town, Ward with it’s beautiful landscape and free-thinking residents hold a special place in my heart. I grew up playing hide & seek in the woods on long summer nights and sledding off 4 feet cliffs of snow in the winter. During my teenage years I played on (mostly) loosing sports teams at our small public school. Although I appreciated and loved where I lived, I was ready to explore the world.

When I was 18, I moved to the big citay of Brooklyn, New York to attend Pratt Institute. I immediately loved the city and my newly found space. My life change also coincided with a historical event–I moved to NYC about 10 days before 9/11. My classmates and I witnessed the events of that day from afar out of our drawing class window. As I was having my personal world cracked open, so was New York, and the world.

After completing a BFA in Communications Design in May of 2005, I decided to stay in Brooklyn to continue mastering the working world. The internships throughout school and the design job I had the summer before my Senior year had given me enough cynicism, connections and experience to start freelancing. Over the next year I got into the routine and found clients that I’ve been working with ever since. I am also lucky enough to be able to take on projects as they come and to take vacation (unpaid of course) when I see fit.

One of the first opportunities I saw came when I began listening to the part of me that said there was something more then sitting in front of a computer all the time. Although it sounds creative and fun, graphic design and advertising was not satisfying my spirit at that point in time. I felt there was a bigger picture to the world that didn’t involve branding it and trying to get people to spend money, so I turned to my hippie upbringing and went full-force into the beginning side of today’s green movement.

I applied and was accepted to be a guinea pig student for a university in Sweden that was playing with the idea of starting a Master’s program called Design for Sustainability. I’m not sure if the program was ever created, but the 2 week experience sure launched me into a new chapter of my life. In this chapter I helped found Green Edge Collaborative in NYC, which is now spreading to Kentucky and San Francisco.

The next journey that my freelance lifestyle allowed me to take is the turn-off I’m on today. In January of 2008, I packed up clothes and computer to move to Santa Fe, NM for 8 months. I was off to help my sister have a little baby boy. He was born on March 19th as the cutest little fish baby ever (I swear I’m not just saying this because he’s related to me!). While in Santa Fe, I started taking Energy Awareness and Spiritual Healing classes at the Center for Inner Truth where my sister completed her training and has worked. The spiritual agreement my sister and I have to push each other along in life was in full effect.

Once again, my world was cracked open. This time it was with baby eyes and a new way to see the world. What I thought was going to be a break from reality where I would help out family, turned out to be just that, but in the complete opposite way I was expecting. I learned that I can’t help others (or save the world from global warming for that matter) without first finding my own truth and energy. As I cleared out my own little cloud, I became more sunshiny for me and everyone else:-)

In October of 2008, I moved back to the good old Gotham city, with a (recently realized) quest to continue uncovering my zen, love and a higher place of non-judgment in one of the most ungrounded places in the world.
