Jenifer Lehker

Partner, Design

Jenifer began her career at Lippincott 15 years ago, as a design intern in college.

Over the following years, she’s led the charge on landmark design projects including Better Homes & Gardens, GLAAD and Bain Capital. Asked where she finds her inspiration: “Keeping my eyes open. I do some of my best thinking on the subway … it’s the best place to clear my mind and think.”

Being a Lippincott’er means:

Being committed to delivering amazing, highly crafted and highly strategic work.

If you weren’t in this profession, what would you be?

A chef. I love throwing dinner parties. I’d cook full-time if I had a second life.

Since you began your career, what’s changed the most about the industry?

Branding used to be just about visual identity, and there were a lot of rules to follow. Now, branding needs to expand and breathe over time instead of staying rigid and consistent. It’s more challenging, but also more engaging.
