Get to know me a little bit better

Hi, I’m Jenniffer!

I’m the creative blogger + digital artist for Life is Messy and Brilliant. I started my blog in 2017 when I was in my senior of college. I was studying Biomedical Sciences but part of me was craving art.

Long story short, I failed a biology class which made me feel like a failure. I needed to find an outlet to get my confidence back. One day in 2017 I sat in my office chair, opened my computer, and started to create printables in Microsoft Word.

Quotes I live by:

  • “The mirror is my only competition”
  • “I’m not scared of a future that hasn’t happened yet”
  • “Treat others the way you want to be treated”
  • “Ask, the worst thing you can get is a no.”
  • “A #2 pencil and a dream can take you anywhere.”
