Jen Smith is an artist, writer and entrepreneur.

She helps female entrepreneurs who didn't grow up with the internet learn how to use social media, blogging and email newsletters to attract dreamy clients and turn their passions into profits.

Jen also illustrates mandalas and teaches the process of drawing into meditation at Mandala Meditation. Her mandalas have been turned into wall stickers, large scale murals and adult colouring sheets.

Jen chases creativity and wishes nothing more for herself than lots of travel, writing, creating and connection. Self-confessed ENFP personality type, Jen loves coffee, books and cheese and goofing around with her friends.
