Brand Strategist and Graphic Designer for Nonprofits and Consultants

The word 'Hello' written in elegant, cursive font.

I’m Jenni Ohnstad, a brand strategist and designer who partners with mission-driven organizations to increase their revenue and deepen the connection to their community with design that visualizes their values.

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 25+ 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. Explore my branding and design process for nonprofits and consultants.

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, and how it brought joy back to my career and lead me to where I am today.

Branding Client Testimonials

“Jenni was phenomenal to work with! She was extremely patient with me and my hundreds of questions and she was very thorough in getting to know my brand and the vision that I have. The finished brand book that I received was spot on! Jenni, thank you so much for bringing my vision to life and for guiding me along the way. I look forward to working with you again in the future for all of my branding needs!”

–Christa Bybee, owner, Christa Bybee Virtual Solutions
“I cannot recommend Jenni enough for her expert design skills. She has worked on a few projects for the Divinity School, so understands our aesthetic and commitments. Our most recent project was one she worked on during a VIP Design Day. . . She took the “look” of a related prior project and built it into the new project. The end result is a very attractive and professional brochure for prospective students. This is a great option for a smaller project and I commend it to the rest of you who need some solid work done!”

“Working with Jenni over the last two years has been a pleasure! Not only are her designs insightful and aesthetical, she is an active listener, excellent communicator, and very efficient. Unlike many designers I’ve worked with, Jenni is not afraid to question knee-jerk directives in order to ensure high quality deliverables and consistent branding. She’s passionate about her work and it shows!”

“Jenni’s work is breathtaking and her creative eye is great. Her work was beautiful. She made it hard for me to choose. She was able to understand the energy and voice I wanted to convey through our graphics and created a piece that we will be able to use for our company for years!”
