Bio

Jyn Henzel reimagines what creative culture can be. A hybrid leader with 13 years at the creative helm and a dozen more in business management, Jyn’s career is proof that reinvention is a superpower. She’s set the visual direction for HOKA’s first global brand campaign, helped win new business with FCB Global’s C-suite, and delivered bold creative for names like Logitech Gaming and Microsoft.

Always experimenting, Jyn was an early mover in the AI generative art community—producing short films and unlocking new creative workflows for concepting, animation, and storytelling, while championing agency adoption through thought leadership, mentoring creatives, and scouting the latest platforms to keep her teams ahead of the curve.

Her roots are firmly planted in creative subculture. Jyn owned a streetwear shop that by night became a underground all-ages venue, fostering the local music scene while fueling punk sets on bass. She went on to lead design and creative direction in-house for the family of iconic author Ken Kesey, producing unforgettable events and festivals for artists like Snoop Dogg, Bob Dylan, and Tyler the Creator. Always pushing creative boundaries, Jyn also co-directed a short film for Hypnotic Brass Ensemble and Mos Def—continuing to thrive where art, music, and community collide.
