Jenny Montalvo

  • I’m a heart-centered visual designer and art director who designs with meaning and rhythm, guided by intuition, color, connection, and a love of music: from bass grooves to delicate melodies.

    I help brands express their messaging in a clear, emotive, and value-driven way. I bring depth and connection to every project, building bridges between people, ideas, and form. Where others see problems, I see creative pathways.

    I currently reside on unceded Muwekma, Ramaytush, Ohlone territory, San Francisco.

    AKA Sapito (“Little Toad.”)

  • 👁 Openness & Curiosity
    I ask questions to deepen insight and welcome multiple perspectives.

    ❤️ Heart-Centered
    The heart reveals truths and treasures, guiding us toward empathy and compassion.

    ✨ Craft & Quality
    I am committed to growth, creating work that is both beautiful and meaningful.

    🌿 Earth & Ancestral Wisdom
    I honor the Earth, the elements, and the unseen forces that hold us.

    🌌 Imagination & Play
    Through joy and play, we shift reality and spark new possibilities.
