Southern California–based Jennifer Thorington was born and raised in the laid-back beach culture capital of the world, where she quickly became known for her entrepreneurial spirit, insatiable curiosity, and drive to create. Shortly after graduating from high school, Jennifer established herself as a renowned makeup artist, working on television productions including Take Home Chef, Kamen Rider, Search For the Next Doll, and Launch My Line, while also working with acclaimed musicians such as Prince, The Black Eyed Peas, and The Pussycat Dolls.

 

Jennifer’s passion for music soon expanded beyond makeup artistry. After nearly a decade in the beauty industry, she co-founded the indie band The Morning Birds alongside the music publicity firm Working Brilliantly.

 

Over the next decade, Working Brilliantly grew into one of the industry’s most respected boutique music publicity firms, representing independent musicians and record labels with integrity, creativity, and a highly personalized approach.

 

Jennifer also co-founded the award-winning directing duo Markus Thorington, writing and creating visually compelling work that has been featured by publications including LA Buzzbands, Paste, OC Weekly, and Noisey.

 

Today, as the sole owner and CEO of Working Brilliantly - now the umbrella company for her many ventures - Jennifer continues to expand her creative vision across multiple industries. She founded Ephemera, a destination vintage boutique in the mountain town of Idyllwild, alongside Midnite Moon, a nostalgic record and media shop celebrating music, film, and pop culture. She has also expanded her spiritual practice by becoming a certified Reiki Master and Meditation Teacher while sharing her handcrafted affirmation malas and sterling turquoise jewelry with a growing audience.

 

Whether through entrepreneurship, music, film, fashion, vintage curation, or spiritual teaching, Jennifer’s work is united by a single purpose: inspiring people to live with greater creativity, curiosity, authenticity, and wonder.
