Profile: https://flows.cv/jennicurtice

I’m a Creative Project Manager for a unique in-house design team with a background in entrepreneurship, graphic design, and visual storytelling. I am the bridge between client and creative team, translating vision into execution and keeping everyone aligned along the way. Communication is one of my superpowers.

At Vagaro, I lead branding projects from concept to execution, partnering closely with clients and internal designers. I manage client relationships, guide creative strategy, and ensure each brand’s vision is communicated with clarity, intention, and consistency. My role sits at the intersection of creative direction, account leadership, and design- aligning people, process, and visuals.

I truly believe that with passion, purpose and drive anything is possible. Let's connect!
