I am a self-employed artist, designer, photographer and videographer based in Dublin, running Jen Harrington Studio. I provide photography, graphic design, videography and art services to clients across album design, book layouts, concert photography, art exhibitions and community art projects. I work across media and roles with a focus on creative collaboration, storytelling and practical delivery, always aiming to bring ideas to life with clarity and care. Beyond my solo practice, I engage in contract-based work in community and arts projects, with a strong emphasis on arts administration, project development and community engagement. I have collaborated with arts organisations and bodies including Disabled Artists and Disabled Academics, Pallas Projects/Studios, Daylight Glasnevin and Ballymun is Brilliant (Global Action Plan). In my most recent in-house role as Ballymun is Brilliant’s Community Weaver, I designed workshops, organised events, lead outreach, gathered feedback, created content, managed our website, and support impact measurement and legacy resources to connect people with the arts and strengthen community ties.
