About this Blog: In the last year, I feel like I’ve been a lot more productive when it comes to creative projects. I do web work for the day job as well as on the side, but lately I’ve been branching out into a lot of other areas. I’ve gone back to my roots in print design by doing wedding invitations, gotten crafty with button-making, continued my obsession with photography, just signed up for a drawing class, and have a painting in the works.

Web design is still my main focus, but I’ve discovered that doing these other things has definitely been a positive influence. Even though I’ve been making web sites professionally for 11 years, I know I don’t have all the answers and I’m constantly learning new things. This site is where I’ll share what I’ve learned along the way… thanks for coming along for the ride.

About Me: My name is Jen and I live in Chicago. I’ve been involved in art or design-related activities since I was a kid, so I’ve started a series of posts where I talk about how things from different periods of my life have contributed to where I am now in my career. You can start reading those here:

I should make the disclaimer that I don’t claim to be some sort of ultimate authority but rather wanted to share some of my successes and mistakes with others. (Results for you may vary.) I’d love to hear what you think, so feel free to leave a comment or contact me in one of the following ways:
