Jenni Ohnstad - Nashville Brand Strategist and Designer

I’m Jenni Ohnstad, a brand strategist and designer who partners with mission-driven organizations to increase their impact on our community using design to visualize their values and connect to their audience on a deep, emotional level.

Luminea Creative

I believe in a collaborative design process, one where we partner together to uncover solutions that connect with your audience.

I believe design can help make the world a better place, whether that is amplifying the visual voice of a nonprofit or designing a product or service that will improve the lives of its audience. Approaching each project with an open mind, my curiosity allows me to uncover the heart of your brand and visualize your values. My goal is to create timeless designs that transcend trends—modern yet classic—while prioritizing clear and concise visual communication. I’d love to use my 20+ years of design experience to your advantage. Utilizing honest and sincere communication, we will take a deep dive into your current brand presence, audience, industry, history, and finally its future. Investigate my process here.

I’m invested in solving problems with you, not merely executing a design brief. Unlike an agency, there are not layers and layers between client and creative. We will work one-on-one to solve your problems. Learn about my journey to uncover my own brand’s values here, and how it brought joy back to my career and lead me to where I am today. Are you ready to visualize your values?
