Jennifer Brahm is a graphic designer with over a decade of experience. She has worked in multiple industries but her main focus for most of her career has been healthcare.
Over the course of my career, I have had the privilege of working across a variety of industries. I started out of college at PetroPages, where I spent my first year finding my footing as a designer. From there, I joined Community Impact Newspaper for nearly four years, where I honed my craft serving a publication deeply rooted in local community. I then brought my skills to Ziegler Cooper Architects for a brief but valuable time before joining Houston Methodist Hospital System, where I spent seven years growing as both a designer and a professional. While I am comfortable working across many industries, I am most drawn to work that serves others and makes a genuine difference in people's lives.
For more than six years, I have worked as a Graphic Designer at Houston Methodist Hospital System in Houston, Texas, where I developed a strong proficiency in press checking, file management, competitive audits, and digital design. What has always driven me is the opportunity to contribute to something larger than myself. Working in healthcare gave my work a greater sense of purpose, and I never took that responsibility lightly. I try my best to lead with integrity, approach others with compassion, hold myself accountable, treat everyone with respect, and always strive for excellence.
