☀️🌝

👋🏼 Hi, I'm Jade.

For many (and I do mean many) years, I've been building things for the Web. From my first fan site, to the user interfaces that launched Apple Music, to designing and engineering sites and apps for various people, campaigns, and causes, I have always enjoyed crafting custom digital experiences.

In the modern age of social media fatigue, I've set this site up as a portal to share and connect with my friends and community.

California's Gold Country

For a while, California's Gold Country was a secondary stomping ground. The Sierra foothills, especially around CA4, will always hold a special place in my heart.

Yellowstone / Grand Tetons

In August of 2017, the Pennigs rented a camping trailer and towed it to Yellowstone for the solar eclipse. We got to spend some time around Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons.

Costa Rica

¡Pura Vida! Costa Rica has it all - beaches, mountains, rainforests, volcanoes, great people, culture, food, and adventures. I've been lucky enough to spend time in various parts of the country, from the Gulf coast to the Pacific, including a summit of Cerro Chirripó.

Tulum, Mexico

Tulum is a wonderful place, with spectacular turquoise water, picturesque beaches, and an ancient history. Visiting the beaches of the Tulum ruins on December 21, 2012 was a night to remember.

Bodie, CA

An impromptu weekend motorcycle trip took me to the ghost town of Bodie, California.

Brazil

In 2010, I travelled around Brazil with one of my favorite people, who grew up in the country. We explored around her hometown of Belo Horizonte, and took a trip up to Maceió / Maragogi.
