about me! :))

Hi, my name is Jamie Lea Clingenpeel, and I like attention.

As the youngest child, I learned that if I want people to notice me, I should give them a really good reason to look. And that's how I approach Art Direction & Content Creation!

Designing bold visuals, incorporating culture, and ALWAYS taking creative risks.
