MY APPROACH TO DESIGN

The culmination of your work, communicated in a way that leaves a mark.

Every project I design for starts with the hard work and creativity of those who have written it, researched it, edited it, and developed a vision for it.

I consider that vision to be as central to the design process as any other fundamental like color, shape, or typography.

Over the years I’ve cultivated a process that is highly collaborative and rooted in understanding and responsiveness. My role as your designer is to use my creative skill sets to ensure that your goals — whether they be higher sales, a greater market share, a more informed audience, or creative expression — are always front of mind as your project takes shape.

“Jen listens intently to your thoughts, admirations, and goals . . . and with her extraordinary creative gift of design, she brings your vision to life.”

Beautiful Design and Boundless Creativity

My career in design began in a college advertising class. I was on track for a sociology degree at the time, and I vividly remember calling my parents after class and begging them to let me pursue a BFA in design. There was something about the creative process that made the world of graphics feel like the exact place I needed to be. Over fifteen years and numerous wonderful clients later, I can say with certainty that that feeling has never left me. Design — and all of the creative victories, challenges, and new relationships that come with it — is my one true calling.

In my specialty as a book designer, I’ve had the privilege of working with clients who have captivating and important stories to tell in fields that range from Old Hollywood biographies to emotionally-touching guides on self-care. Whether in or outside the world of books and publishing, there’s nothing I love more than knowing my clients can better connect with their audiences because of compelling and thoughtful design.

I take great pride in being a woman-owned small business, and in supporting other small business owners (as well as larger brands) through my design work. When I’m not working, you’ll find me enjoying the great outdoors and family time in Florida with my husband and our trio of hilarious Golden Retrievers. There’s no faster way to my heart than through sharing witty and silly stories over a long day at the beach.
