IVY JENKINS
Ivy Jenkins is a senior from Shepherdstown WV pursuing a BFA in Graphic Design with a minor in Business of Art and Design at Ringling College. Her interest in a creative path began at James Rumsey Technical Institute, where she gained early hands-on design experience in a simulated workplace setting. She specializes in branding, web design, and fabrication, creating thoughtful visual solutions that combine creativity with strategic intent. Her work spans both digital and physical media with a focus on engaging, meaningful experiences. When she is not designing, you can find her listening to music while crafting or watching any and all documentaries.
Taking the leap to enroll in the Graphic Design program at James Rumsey Technical Institute from 2020 to 2022 was the initial spark that introduced me to an exciting career path in design. What I learned from this experience gave me the confidence to explore Ringling’s PreCollege Graphic Design Immersion in the summer of 2021, where the projects offered me glimpse into the kind of dynamic, professional work that would continue to creatively push me as a full-time student. Together, these two experiences confirmed that this was the creative path I was meant to pursue.
Aaron Draplin and Kel Lauren are my biggest creative influences for their unapologetic personalities and colorfully vocal work that has inspired me since starting my graphic design journey. What I have learned most from these creative powerhouses, is not to be afraid to explore new mediums, look for inspiration everywhere, and take time to be creative for yourself.
