Artist Bio

Tennille was born in St. Louis, Missouri to a loving family with strong values and an excellent work ethic. Although Tennille has always enjoyed creating and being creative, her scholastic career and path have taken many turns. Initially wanting to teach, she later decided to pursue helping others in the health care field. Never really feeling satisfied with this career path, she finally discovered her true passion of design. While working as an event planner, Tennille’s team included several graphic designers, and it was here the spark to become a graphic designer was ignited. Tennille has begun to build a strong design framework both through her coursework at St. Ambrose, as well as through freelance design projects. After obtaining her BA, Tennille plans to try different facets of design, including web design, designing corporate logos and marketing pieces, as well as magazine layout design. She would also like to earn a Master’s degree in the future and teach design at the college level.
