She has always been driven to seek that fine line between aesthetics and functionality.

Under Jennie's supervision, Deep Fried has grown to an efficiently run boutique creative and interactive agency of nine people that services over 100 clients of varying industries, both local and nationwide. Over the past decade, her company has established a reputation for expertise in branding and custom web development. Notable accounts include the French Market, Hola Nola, Tujague's Restaurant, Kern Studios, Healthy Course Meals, New Orleans Chamber, Townsend Addiction Treatment Centers, and YLC.
