The dabblers are Jenn de la Fuente and Andrew Clementi, both freelance designers and design students at Sacramento City College in lovely Sacramento, California. This blog is where we post our inspiration, our latest projects, the things we’ve learned and whatever fun or crazy thing pops out of our heads and onto the screen.
Jenn has been dabbling in design since high school, when she hand-lettered flyers for school events. From there, she’s gone on to do newspaper design, web design and various logo projects. She is part-time faculty in the graphic communications department at Sacramento City College, working as a coordinator in the GCOM lab. She was a tutor at Sac City for two years before that, so she answers lots of questions about Adobe products and design! Her favorite programs to dabble in are Illustrator and Dreamweaver. She does have a freelance design business called Rosebud Designs, and you can find her portfolio here.
Andrew first dabbled with Photoshop at age 14, but didn’t do any real design until getting involved with his school paper. Since then, he’s pursued a career in journalism, specifically news page design. After designer stints at the school papers at American River College and Sacramento City College and a minor position at The Sacramento Bee, he’s begun expanding his skillset. Coming from a print background, his preferred programs are Photoshop and InDesign. His profile isn’t completed yet, but will eventually be located here.
