Meet Jenn
Jenn Alvin is a creative badass, author, tech geek, and sticky note enthusiast who lives in Portland, Oregon.


As a prolific maker, she has met very few craft projects she dislikes (sorry, scrapbooking – it’s not you, it’s me.) After carving her path up (and occasionally sideways) along corporate landscapes, she now guides others in mapping their authentic journeys.
Her debut book, Stronger, Wiser, and Still Fabulous, empowers women to rediscover their resilience and color outside the lines. Jenn champions core values, community building, and fun, and encourages others to follow their own unique journeys.


For Jenn, life is for living. Her guiding question? “When will I get the chance to do this again?”
She leaps at opportunities, whether that means learning a new craft, tackling an unfamiliar skill, or stepping into a fresh adventure.
When she’s not creating (which is rare), Jenn is out in the world collecting experiences. She’s made macarons in Paris, apprenticed with a leather artisan in Madrid, worked wine crush in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, and haggled in a Shanghai marketplace using only a calculator and exactly two words of Mandarin.
Jenn Alvin is a dynamic public speaker and workshop facilitator who brings humor, heart, and hard-won wisdom to every stage she steps onto.
Whether leading creative sessions, delivering keynotes on resilience and reinvention, or guiding women through interactive self-reflection exercises, Jenn creates engaging, empowering experiences that leave audiences feeling seen, inspired, and ready to color outside the lines of their own lives.
