this all began with photography
I enjoy working with photographers and creatives, because I sincerely understand the passion for your business!
The late nights, the tough work, the clients becoming friends, and the joys & hardships of it all.
I incorporate photography into my design business still, via lay-flats and branding photos,
and I just love combining my two passions!
By using both design and photography for you,
I can truly create a brand and website you'll be proud of, and make your social media pop!

We have a nice little home in Round Rock, a great family suburb about 25 minutes north of ATX. "We" is the hubbster James and I, our 11yr old son, Connor, a very bad kitty, Posey, and a crazy jumpy dog named Froggy. My sister and her little crew can also be found here often. I came from a large family, with a noisy house, and chaos creates my happy place. We moved here almost 9 years ago, and we hope to never leave! Austin has city, fabulous parks, fun people, and hot summers. We love it all.
we love austin

I'm one of those who really believes in the power of laughter. I'm easy going, and try to choose happiness everyday. It's not possible to laugh too much, right?? Haha ;)
i laugh, a lot

MEET ME
Like, really... really obsessed.
I would say my own style is California Contemporary, but I seriously crush on almost every style. I love me some organization too, hello Container Store! Home Goods is my version of Heaven, Crate & Barrel makes me stupid giddy, and I stalk interior designers on Instagram, just wishing I could be as awesome as they are. When do I get my other life?? haha
We are currently building our new home too! Follow along on Instagram @Jen_Gen_
i'm obsessed with interior design

Give me a reason and a theme, and I'll run with it!
Admittedly, I'll probably take it a little too far too, haha!
I love planning parties just as much as I love attending them.
I love a good party

Take me away please, passport is ready!
What's not to love about waking up in a new place and heading out to explore?! I'm pretty sure most everyone is with me on this one!
I will go just about anywhere, my bucket list is huge, but as quickly as I can, I'm working my way through it! I have a serious crush on traveling.

so, how does
this all play out?
STEP
The very first step is to inquire! You've looked through my site, and what I have to offer at this point, and you'd like to know more - yay! I'd love to hear from you! Send me a message with any questions or comments you have, and we'll see if we are a good fit for a working relationship! And yep, relationship, because we will be working closely together from this point through design install, and even after that. We need to make sure we jive well. I'm pretty sure I'm going to love you, but the feeling needs to be mutual :)
I use smiley guy texts way too much, I have a serious problem with hot chocolate in the winter, and I'm beyond clumsy! There. Now that that is out of the way, I do have some good qualities too! I love my job, and I'm passionate about it just like you are! I understand first hand that you are putting your entire heart and soul into your business, not to mention all those long nights and coffee drenched mornings, and I truly want you to treasure your brand & site!
So, if you'd like to move past step one, just send me that inquiry :) I will get back to you as soon as I can, and we'll go from there! Looking forward to hearing from you!
01. INQUIRE
tell me more >
THE PROCESS
When I get your inquiry I'll go over any questions or concerns you have, and then if you want to move forward we'll get you all set up on my calendar! (I typically book about 2-4 months in advance.)
To book your start date I require a signed contract, and half of your total order amount as a non-refundable deposit. That is all done online, to make it easy on both of us.
Once I get both of those back I will set you up with your start date, and we will go from there!
02. book
tell me more >
THE PROCESS
Step 3 is homework, sorry! haha I will have you create an online inspiration board, and I'll ask that you pin things that give you the same feeling you want your site and brand to have; color combinations you love, design elements you are drawn to, and actual website layouts you like too.
You will also need to start gathering all your site content - photos, text, etc... anything you want in the website. I will give you an easy place online to store it all, so it's ready to go on your start date. I don't write your web copy, but I will ask for it, so I can design your interior pages around it all nicely.
On your start date I will have you fill out my online questionnaire. I prefer to do that last minute because your inspiration homework will help you really narrow down your style and even help you with more descriptive answers for my questions. When I get all of that from you I will send you a note with any questions I may have, and to confirm your style opinions.
03. homework
tell me more >
THE PROCESS
If you choose to add-on the full branding and logo design package then step 4 is for you! We will get this done before we move onto your website design, so we can implement all your new branding goodies into the new site. This step does add two weeks to our timeline.
I will take all your questionnaire answers and inspiration, and create 4 different logo concepts, and then send them your way! You will go through them, and then send me your thoughts, and from that I will perfect the logo of your choice, and then I will create a full brand around that logo concept. Once the entire set is perfect for you, you will have a complete brand - including a logo, watermark, secondary logo, professional color combination, font choices, and coordinating design elements.
04. branding
tell me more >
THE PROCESS
Time for the design proof! I will take about two weeks to get you your first design proof. This step is always done in the background, so your site isn't down during this whole process! I will be working hard at making it everything you want it to be, and then I will send you a preview link when it's ready. You will go through everything and then send me your thoughts and notes.
The first draft is very rarely perfect, remember it's a work in progress, so don't be afraid to tell me what you want to see changed. You won't hurt my feelings, I know it's not personal at all, and I want you to absolutely love your site!
When I get your notes back I will go through everything and start perfecting the site for you! This will take about a week, and then when it's exactly how you want it, we will move onto the interior pages.
05. design proof
tell me more >
THE PROCESS
It's all the little details ... step 6 is all about completing the site!
I will have your web copy and I will create all your pages, send you page proofs here and there, ask a lot of questions, and get the entire site all set up just right for you! We are usually in contact every day during this week or so, and once the finishing touches are all complete we will move on to step 7!
Your final payment will be due at this point as well, before I transfer the design over to your domain.
06. finishing details
tell me more >
THE PROCESS
This is an exciting step!! We finally get to see all of our hard work come together on your own domain!
I will need about half of a day from you for this step, but I do the complete install for you, and then I will have you go through it all one more time for me, to double check for any mistakes. I will fix anything we find and make any little last minute changes the site needs.
We can chat on the phone if you want to go through everything I have done for you, and I can show you how to make changes in the future. I will of course answer any other questions you have, and then I will share all the psd files I created for your site through dropbox, along with all your branding goodies, so you can have them for anything else you may need for your business in the future.
06. the transfer
tell me more >
THE PROCESS
Launch Day! We made it :) Time to celebrate now!
Once we have gone through everything together, and the site is perfect, we will launch it!
Now you can hand out your business cards with pride, and keep working hard to grow your fabulous new brand, congratulations!!
07. launch! & celebrate

"Jennifer was such a pleasure to work with! She took everything I had envisioned for my brand design and brought it to life! It was as if she read my mind! I'm so elated to have a website and blog that I'm proud to show off, and that displays my work so beautifully! It sets the stage for my future clients, and it attracts brides with my same style form the start. I can't thank her enough; Jen, you are amazing!!"

"Jennifer was absolutely amazing to work with from start to finish! After being in the business for several years, I longed for something new to refresh my website and branding, but I could not articulate exactly what I had in mind when we first began. Jennifer worked patiently with me through the entire process in a kind and caring way. She listened closely to my feedback and ideas. As a result, she delivered a finished product beyond my expectations! I am so in love with the new 'look' she brought to my business! It is a perfect reflection of who I am and the work that I love! She is meticulous and very knowledgable even with all the technical behind the scenes pieces to the puzzle! So impressed! She truly is the best!! <3"

"I had an amazing experience working with Jennifer. I was looking to revamp my branding and site design to reflect a slightly new direction for my photography company. Jennifer totally understood my vision and delivered beautiful options for me to choose from; it was hard to select just one! Once we decided on the final version, Jennifer was wonderful to work with in terms of implementing and delivering the final product. I highly recommend working with her and look forward to collaborating with her again for future projects."

"I have had Jennifer do all of my design work since I started my photography business. She designed my first website, which I loved, and when I was ready for a change and really wanted my website to stand out in my industry and among my peers she took my business to a whole new level!! She designed an entire rebrand for me that was AMAZING and brought a new kind of sophistication to my business! Jennifer always finishes my work in a timely manner, is easy to work with, provides many options, and always meets and exceeds my expectations. I love my new website and logo and will continue to use her in the future and throughout my photography career…she is the best!!!"
