About Jena
Graphic design like mine is art for everyone. Who said art had to be exclusive?
I’m Jena, and I think collaboration creates magic.
When you work with me, we work together. I’m pretty excellent at drawing out your values and ideas, and then I use my experience, skill and a healthy dose of design intuition to create customised, purpose-driven art just for you.
Know what you like but not sure what you need?
I know the process of working together can feel overwhelming! Alongside my degree in communication design specialising in fine art, I cut my teeth working in studio settings and working overseas. This means I have deep experience interpreting a brief, helping you clarify your best ideas, and turning them into purposeful and useful visuals for your brand.
Graphic design that gives YOU the power to be creative.
How I work
I help you find joy in art.
Imagination is the best thing about this job. I’m the playful, artsy kid-turned-grown-up-art-nerd who never lost that sense of play that art has given me. In fact, my mum still has boxes of drawings I did as a kid. There are A LOT. I make room for my own art play, as well as being lucky enough to play and create for a job.
I’m a curious cat.
I’m a design nerd, in a relationship with another design nerd, and a big reader. I’ve also taken every personality test under the sun (and *may* ask you if you have, too!)
My fine arts background means I have practical skills and theoretical knowledge to walk (or draw) down slightly-obscure design paths to see if an idea is effective — I’m always searching for innovative ways to convey ideas.
Every project is a collaboration.
Client relationships and community are at the heart of what I do. I’ve been told I could talk to a brick wall, and this serves me well as a designer because I listen and ask questions to get to the essence of you and your brand.
I’m like the best group project partner you’ll ever have!
Honesty is (quite literally) my policy.
A transparent process is a happy process for both of us!
I'm transparent in my pricing and processes, setting expectations and boundaries for both of us. There are check-ins throughout my process, and we'll often refer back to your original brief to make sure we remain on the same page!
Art that is made for a purpose AND purpose-driven brands.
Graphic design is art that does stuff — it communicates your message, and your message is important! It’s not frivolous — it’s a super-useful tool to spread your ideas and impact, just like your words and actions.
I’m here for purposeful brands and founders who give a damn about the impact they make in the world.
