My name is Jennifer Lynn Unrein. I am 23 years old and I have Williams Syndrome. I like to draw and I am very thankful to have my art business. I like to work as a team together with my stepmom, Wendi Unrein. I have been doing this business for more than four years. I like making a difference in peoples’ lives.
I always liked to draw pictures on cards for my family and for special people in my life. My mom and I came up with the idea of making artwork together to donate to fundraisers. We showed it to my transition coordinator at Washburn Rural High School in Topeka, KS, and she showed it to my teachers and they bought my artwork. We decided to also sell cards and t-shirts, too. My transition coordinator told us about a special grant that the Kansas Council on Developmental Disabilities was offering to people like me who wanted to start a business.
