Full-service creative agency located in West Des Moines, Iowa
An extension of your team
Whether you are hiring an in-house individual or an outside agency for your church communications, you need them to:
1. Have the expertise in a variety of disciplines (design, web, copywriting, marketing, etc.)
2. Understand your church’s unique culture and mission (and be excited about it!)
3. Work quickly on tight end of week deadlines and changing priorities
You’ve probably experienced first-hand just how difficult it can be to find all 3, but that doesn’t mean you have to settle for less.
Fortunately, TwoTone is church-focused at the core. Our team has been working with churches for over 10 years, so we know what it takes to engage your congregation week in and week out. We know the lingo, we know how to engage congregations, and we take ownership of supporting your church in every way (except preaching…we have to draw the line somewhere).
We know where you’re coming from
You want people to engage with your content and become connected with your church, but you need more than just someone who can make pretty designs. You need a team who can communicate effectively, manage projects with discernment, and create excellence in everything your church puts out.
Once upon a time...
TwoTone: A History
TwoTone started six years ago as a Christmas card company in Jenny Cross’ basement. Since she was already the Creative Director for two local churches, TwoTone was what the kids would nowadays classify as a side-hustle.
As it turns out, like-minded churches needed Jenny’s marketing and design experience more than her card-making abilities. Soon enough, Jenny had to turn away clients because she was working around the clock just to keep up.
Today, as a team of 10, TwoTone is committed to helping churches speak to their congregations – developing communication strategies, design, copywriting, branding, social, and marketing initiatives. Our small team structure allows us to be flexible enough to accommodate even the busiest seasons in the life of your church.
Wondering if TwoTone is the right fit for your needs? Book a Discovery Call with us today and let’s talk about where your church is currently and where you want to be.
The Faces You’ve Been Waiting For
The TwoTone Team

Jenny Cross
Founder & Creative Director
With more than 10 years of agency experience, Jenny has had the privilege of working with a large variety of brands. She loves partnering with other business owners and entrepreneurs, and specializes in brand development. From digital marketing to online course creation, Jenny’s knowledge and skillset has prepared her to be a successful creative director.
Jenny received her B.F.A. in Visual Communications from Truman State University in 2012 and spent several years in Colorado before returning to the Des Moines area. She loves being close to her family and spending time with her husband and daughter. And though she loves design, living life for Christ has made the greatest impact on her life.

The middle of 9 children, Grace loves spending time with all of her nieces and nephews and sharing her passion for chocolate milk with them. She loves travel, home improvement shows, and big cups of coffee in the morning.

After receiving her undergrad in graphic design from Iowa State, Abby decided to pursue a masters in brand communications from Drake University. Abby is also a talented cook (she’s even published her own cookbook)! When she finds a break between work and homework, she’ll relax and grab a drink with her Shiba Inu, Louie.

Originally from Pella, she is a native Iowan and now enjoys being part of the Des Moines area community. She lives with her husband and their labradoodle puppy. In her free time, you can find Vanessa reading, browsing Pinterest, and exploring the city.

Rick has always enjoyed being creative and active, so when he went to Central College in Pella, Iowa, he decided to study graphic design, psychology, and exercise science. Eventually, he realized his true passion was for design, and decided to focus on this area. In his free time, he enjoys staying active (through tennis, basketball, running, biking, etc.), hanging out with friends, visiting various breweries around Des Moines, and attending concerts.

Libby always knew she wanted to have a career that would allow her to be creative at all times, so she decided to give graphic design a try. She fell in love with it and ended up pursuing a degree in graphic design from the University of Northern Iowa. When she’s not designing, she enjoys cooking, photography, thrift shopping and exploring the Des Moines area.

Whether you need a snappy tagline, a compelling email message, or a social media post that keeps people coming back for more, she enjoys transforming ideas into stories that impact and inspire. She’s in her element when she gets to revitalize tired old ideas into fresh, new content, and loves tackling writing projects covering any topic.
A lifelong Iowa native, Melanie graduated from Iowa State University with a degree in public relations. Outside of work, she enjoys reading (or writing) a good book, collecting vinyl records, and exploring downtown Des Moines.

With her go-getter attitude, Emily will transform existing social and digital ads and research different approaches to make a greater impact. She’s passionate about tailoring strategic ads to reach specific target audiences and thrives when she’s surrounded by like-minded team members who share her creative drive.
Emily graduated from the University of Iowa (go Hawks!) and holds a degree in Journalism and Mass Communication. When Emily isn’t executing campaigns for our clients, she enjoys spending time with her husband, her baby daughter, and their two labradors. You might find her enjoying red wine and crime podcasts, trying out new recipes on her family and friends, or exploring new restaurants and breweries around Des Moines.

Chloe is passionate about taking the big ideas and goals of others and crafting a detailed plan to help them succeed. She thrives in fast-paced environments where she can collaborate with others, and she’ll be the first to help someone get organized or take initiative on whatever new project comes her way.
Chloe graduated from North Central University in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where she majored in Business Administration and Pre-Law. When she’s not coordinating the everyday details of life at TwoTone, she loves going on hikes, listening to music, attending concerts, and exploring new coffee shops.

His diligent work ethic and positive attitude helps him work to exceed client expectations, all while getting projects done efficiently. Lucas is happiest when he can get to work on the details of a project, ensuring that the final design is of the highest possible quality.
Lucas earned his degree in graphic and web design from North Idaho College, and originally hails from Washington State. Outside of work, Lucas likes to play video games, make music, and spend time with friends.
