Hi! I\u2019m Jen, a graphic designer working for people and the planet.<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Read on to learn more about who I am and what I do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

how I got started<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the year 2001 I graduated with an Advanced Diploma in Photography from Massey University Wellington, in Aotearoa New Zealand. Right away I started working as a photographer and design assistant at local gig guide The package<\/em>. There, under the mentorship of Art Director Sean Berry, I began to translate my design school knowledge into working print production know-how, and since then I\u2019ve continued to grow my skills with every job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

what I do<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With over 20 years of experience in print, digital, and identity design, I am currently focusing on designing book covers, branding and logos, and merch (stickers, totes, t-shirts, etc).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

English is my native tongue, and I\u2019m proficient in Spanish and Catalan, so I can comfortably collaborate with clients in those languages. As a long-time language nerd, I also have a beginner to intermediate level of Arabic, French, Te Reo M\u0101ori, German, and Portuguese, and experience with designing materials in many more languages and alphabets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

how I work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I approach every project with three key steps: research, creation and delivery. A clear understanding of your organisation, your goals and your audience is the foundation of our work together. I then lead the creation of your designs, and you can participate as much or as little as you want to. At the end of the project I make it easy for you to download all your files, and am happy to guide you in their use \u2014 whether that means making the most of your new branding, liasing with printers, or something else. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

what I\u2019m currently working on<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My current focus is on aligning my design work with my personal values: creating an anti\u2011capitalist pricing model, staying up-to-date with sustainable and regenerative design practices, and continuing my education in accessible, culturally\u2011aware and ethical design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

who I work with<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I love working with clients who are dedicated to justice, liberation and self-determination for all people (and creatures) on this planet. My clients include grass-roots organisations, non-profits, worker-owned cooperatives, values-led small businesses, artists, and musicians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
