About Jen

Jen Lowe (she/they) is a coach, educator, writer, researcher, artist, and speaker. As the founder of Glimmers Coaching, she incorporates somatics with neuroaffirming approaches and practical strategies to support neurodivergent people and families in living their most expansive lives by radically embracing who they are while increasing their flexibility.

Jen has spoken at SXSW, Eyeo, and the CMU STUDIO for Creative Inquiry, taught at NYU ITP and SVA's Design for Social Innovation program, and researched at the Spatial Information Design Lab at Columbia University. Jen cowrote The Book of Shaders with Patricio González Vivo. She cofounded the School for Poetic Computation and wrote Clearing Space about the first class at SFPC. Her heartbeat is online as One Human Heartbeat, and her particle motion wind visualization of lidar-derived wind data was an early influencer of other wind visualizations. Jen’s work has been published in Scientific American, sold in a lot at Christie’s, and covered by The New York Times and Fast Company. Jen’s university education is in Applied Math, Critical Mathematics Education, and Library & Information Science.

Jen lives with her family in North Carolina, though a part of her heart will always be in the Sonoran Desert of Tucson, Arizona.
