Hello!

I’m a brand designer with a big love for colour and creativity. I believe branding should be fun! The world already has enough beige and I’m all about playful colour palettes, creative visuals, and designs that make you excited to show up for your business every day.

I work with women and queer-owned businesses who want branding that feels joyful, intentional and truly them. Every design choice I make is thoughtfully and strategically designed. From colours and typography to the overall vibe of your brand. No cookie cutter templates here. Just intentional storytelling, bold visuals, and brands that feel aligned, fun, and unforgettable 

so, let’s build the brand you’ve always dreamed of (and have fun doing it)

my mission

My mission is to bring joy back into branding by creating playful, colourful, and intentional brand identities for women and queer owned businesses. I design bold visuals and creative identities that spark excitement, and help business owners feel confident, aligned, and proud to show up as themselves—every single day.

it all began with

a box of crayons

From crayons lead me to world of digital art.  Since I was 11 years old I knew I wanted to be working in the field of art and design. I spent every day drawing in my notebooks,  on my homework, random papers around my house and eventually turning to the world of digital art by using programs like good old MS Paint.  I would trace over my own scanned drawings with a mouse and make digital art…mind you those drawings were…creative (we all start somewhere…)

 I found myself venturing into different mediums of art and design, whether it was drawing on my iPad, painting, or designing a poster for my room.  Art and design has always fascinated me, and has always been there for me when I need to spill out my thoughts, and share a story.

In 2022, I took a big leap and studied graphic design in Calgary. Even though I was nervous, I knew deep down that this was the right path for me. After graduating, I explored many different areas of design and quickly realized I was especially drawn to brand identity work. I became obsessed with watching other designers bring brands to life and knew that creating brand identities was where my passion truly lived.

In late 2024 and early 2025, I rebuilt my own brand identity and launched my brand design business, Design With Jen. This is where I found what I love most bringing ideas to life. Seeing my clients’ faces light up when the brand they’ve worked so hard on finally comes together is the most rewarding part of what I do. I couldn’t ask for a better career choice!

I love infusing personality, colour, fun, and passion into every design. Throughout my journey, I’ve enjoyed watching brands evolve and rebrand over time, and I’m especially inspired by brands that embrace bold colour and playful, expressive design.

Maybe it’s a bit of a cliché but graphic design IS my passion.
