As a "one-stop production shop", I can also design your cover art. DJ Stylus and Kathleen MacKay are two clients who hired me both for audio work and graphic design.
I recorded and edited the spoken meditations of Kathleen MacKay for her two releases: Beginner's Mind (2004) and Transforming Energies (2006). I especially enjoyed composing music for the latter and also designed its packaging (see Graphics Gallery).

In 2007, I recorded and edited two audiobook projects by Well-read Productions: Leo's War by Gordon Pimm, Partnership Publishers and Capital Lives by Valerie Knowles, Book Coach Press.

Here is a testimonial from the project producer Virginia West:

Jennifer Gillmor recorded two projects that I produced this year. Both were audio books. For the first, we recorded 10 selections from the book Capital Lives by Valerie Knowles, a book that profiles 32 leading Ottawa personalities. All 10 pieces were aired on CBC Radio. The second project was a series of excerpts from Leo’s War by Gordon Pimm, a collection of letters written by a young Canadian soldier during the First World War. This recording, intended for use in a publicity package, also required foley. Jennifer ably created soundscapes for the varied locales in which the letters were written. The clients for both projects were very happy with the results.

Jennifer works quickly and efficiently and her creative sensibilities make her a great collaborator.
