JEN QUINN
senior visual designer/art director/strategist | Working from Detroit, Michigan
As a child, Jen would spend hours outdoors, climbing trees and peeking under rocks, fascinated by the textures, shapes, and colors of the snails, flowers, and lizards outside of her Florida home. Over time, this appreciation for beautiful design drove her to create in all realms of visual communication, including branding, web design, social media, and advertising–all while taking inspiration from the world around her. Since joining Red Herring in 2014, Jen has collaborated with dozens of brands to hone storytelling and develop engaging branding and promotions. After 12 years in NYC, Jen has relocated to the midwest. In her spare time, Jen loves to hike, garden, or play chef and mixologist in her Detroit, Michigan home.
DANA GLOMSKI

Country girl moved from the land of no internet to the city to pursue her passion in the arts. Graduating with a Bachelor’s Degree from the College for Creative Studies with a major in Advertising Design and a minor in photography, she joined team Red Herring in 2021. You can always catch Dana with her head in a new book or talking to wild animals in her spare time. Dana is willing to challenge the world, embrace the weird all around her, and let it push her creativity even further.
