This blog may be named after me, but that doesn’t mean I can do it alone! It takes a truly wonderful team of talented people and dedicated people who stick by the JenniferMaker core values to serve the needs of the 300,000+ makers in our community. These are the people behind-the-scenes who keep everything running smoothly, and I am forever grateful to them.
JenniferMaker Leadership Team
Greg Reese – Studio Director (aka Work Horse Unicorn)
Greg oversees our studios, efficiently managing and allocating our physical resources to keep projects on track and within budget. He also contributes and/or creates many of the amazing DIY projects that appear on the blog (like the all the furniture and shelves in the craft room, the R2-D2 bookcase, and the garden wall) to essential infrastructure upgrades (like faster Internet and video equipment). He Greg also designs papercrafts, such as the Vintage Red Truck and enjoys creating things on the Cricut Maker and the 3D printer. In addition to all this, he keeps things running smoothly at home and is my rock. We could not do any of this without him.
Grandi Michelle – Operations Manager (aka Wonder Woman)
Grandi is my Operations Manager and helps keeps operations running smoothly and under control so I can focus providing projects and resources for our community. She is often the first person you meet and supports our team and readers with a smile!

She’s also a crafter and loves making projects with her Cricut Maker.
Communication Heroes (Customer Support)
Rebecca Jones – Communications Hero
Rebecca helps to support our customers, readers, and viewers via email and Facebook. In addition to paper crafts, Rebecca also enjoys needle arts. (I think that’s a fancy way to say crochet and cross stitch!) She collects notebooks, pens and domain names because you can never have too many! She is a Harry Potter fan, enjoys watching sports and is unable to keep plants alive. She enjoys cheesecake, chocolate, and coffee.
Michelle Dollar – Communications Hero
Michelle is our newest communication hero! Michelle loves all things crafting but her first love is quilling. She also enjoys spending time with her family and two cats, and is Harry Potter and Pug obsessed! Her not so healthy obsessions are Dr. Pepper and Reese cups. She has been a Cricut user for 12+ years, in customer service for 20+ years, and feels immense joy in helping others with their crafting needs.
Claudia Gonzalez – Communications Hero
Claudia loves creating crafts with her kids and spending time with her family. Whenever time allows you’ll find her exploring new places. Helping others brings her immense joy, especially when it has to do with someone’s passion!
Social Media Butterfly
Lori Braham – Social Media Butterfly
Lori is our social media butterfly. She wanted wings, so we’re letting her fly! Lori loves fine art and design in all its many forms. She enjoys building and designing all the things from kitchens to school play sets to furniture. She is an artisan soapmaker and when she doesn’t have her hands in something creative, she loves gardening, beekeeping, or spending time with her family exploring nature.
