Hi, my name is Jennifer and I absolutely love what I do. Sunless tanning and traveling the world are two of my biggest passions and I feel blessed to have been able to blend the two in Bronze by Design. Not only have I trained across the country in industry-leading airbrush and contour techniques, but I have also been fortunate enough to tan for multiple national touring productions - including Dancing with the Stars National Tours from ABC and Maks, Val & Peta Live On Tour!
I have also loved taking on the new role of guest speaker, most recently speaking at the Association of Sunless Professionals Conference in Las Vegas in 2019. I believe in continued education and pride myself on ensuring I am using the leading products and techniques in my studio.
I want your custom spray tan to look so flawless and natural that no one even knows you have one. Unless you want to tell them ;)
I look forward to bronzing you soon!
