Jen Stumbles’s Summary
After an uneventful career in advertising working on various yellow phone directories, tampons and telcos in the mainstream and digital planning space at Clemenger & TBWA, Jen started working freelance for innovation companies in brand planning, trend research & new product development which she likes very much. Jen co-authored a global innovation report with Pophouse & STW, has worked for a number of private clients together with a number of innovation companies such as social trend forecasters Pophouse & Whatif The Innovation Company. She also works with Dr Amantha Imber at Inventium.
Jen [aka Tempadventure Shamroy] ran a street art gallery in Second Life until it became apparent that 10c per virtual canvas was never going to make enough to sustain even a virtual existence, she subsequently left to return to the First Life. She also helped set up a social venture in Surry Hills called Tablefor20 with her mate Michael through which they about to launch a brand new product in 2008.
She takes photographs of street art around the world in her travels & sells a lot of it to people who must think she is a real photographer.
She writes Innovation Feeder and posts a few other equally un-read blogs. Jen is particularly interested in emerging media, new technologies, virtual worlds and spends a significant amount of time at Paramatta library cross tabulating census data. She enjoys photography & street art, online gaming, anything from the Helvetica font family and writing in the third person. She dislikes unfiltered social contact, work meetings and people who insist on calculating their portion of a shared bill.
She lives and works from home in Surry Hills Sydney with her husband and their angry puppy.
