Meet Monique

Hi, I’m Monique Jenkins. As the driving force behind Creative & Creator (C&C), based in the heart of Baltimore, I lead a design agency committed to empowering small businesses and non-profits through compelling branding and web design.

Empathy, creativity, and inclusivity are the pillars that underpin both my personal ethos and professional endeavors. These values are woven into the fabric of C&C, where we strive to create designs that resonate deeply and inclusively.

My journey through the design landscape has been rich and varied, taking me from Fortune 500 companies to dynamic startups across diverse sectors like FinTech and Retail. This breadth of experience has infused my work with a unique blend of analytical insight and artistic expression.

I’m passionate about fostering growth and support within the creative community, leading initiatives like “The Design Imposter” podcast and Ladies, Wine, and Design Baltimore, which uplifts women and non-binary creatives.

Outside the studio, my life is beautifully anchored by my husband Bryan, our daughter Zuri, and our Bernedoodle, Nola. Together, they infuse every day with joy, laughter, and inspiration.

Jamaica, with its vibrant people, mouthwatering cuisine, and rich cultural tapestry, holds a special place in my heart. It’s a source of endless inspiration, reminding me of the power of community, warmth, and the diverse stories that shape our world. The island’s spirit influences my approach to design, encouraging me to create work that captures the essence of human connection and cultural richness.

Guided by the wisdom of Shonda Rhimes, I view life as a mosaic of interconnected dots, a philosophy that shapes my leadership and creative vision at C&C.

Home for me is Baltimore, where family moments, community engagement, and a commitment to meaningful design converge to create a life filled with purpose, connection, and vibrant creativity.
