I'm Jenifer Novak, the woman letting creativity lead the way

When I got my degree in Fine Art from the University of Washington, my friends immediately wanted me to paint murals in their baby’s rooms.  After doing THREE  "Winnie the Pooh Murals" I decided to establish my own business and have been a creative entrepreneur ever since.

Every muraI  project begins with an illustration! 

My murals were in high demand with a waiting list throughout the Bay Area. 

I painted  full time for over 15 years, primarily children's rooms and businesses related to kids. I contracted with interior designers who gave me exciting projects.  I grew my business teaching art classes and offering creativity workshops for entrepreneurs. My signature class, “From Artist to Entrepreneur” was voted most popular in the Border’s Book Education Series.

One of my coaching colleagues had a goal to produce her own Children's Book. This was my first Children's Book project, and we won an award for "Best Illustration" and "Best Story!"

I also worked in the printing industry starting as a graphic designer, then art director and then account executive. These years prepared me well for understanding business, marketing, and consulting on the printing/publishing of books.  

I added certifications in Professional  Coaching, and Enneagram Coaching,  with the intention to help entrepreneurs use their creativity to improve their lives and grow their businesses.  I wanted to use my experience with the creative process to help people thrive.  I coached individually and for groups and facilitated mastermind groups on marketing and adding creative projects to grow businesses. 

When I self-published my own book in 2014 called "Fully Expressed Living", it changed my life in a very inspiring way. I knew I would continue creating books. Next I published coloring books that included guided meditations and I sold them as a monthly subscription. I taught workshops Meditation while selling my own coloring books to the attendees. Recently I created a deck of cards about the Enneagram called FUNeagram™, and a companion  workbook. I am currently designing my own series of children's books  for parents about using the Enneagram with kids. . . stay tuned! 

Thank you for being here as we "create award-winning books to inspire children and adults everywhere."

My Favorite Definition of Creativity:

"Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes and having fun."
