DESIGNER + OWNER
Hi, I’m Jen
I’m a Los Angeles native, currently living in Austin + the designer behind Design Makes Me Happy. I love simplicity, white space + stay true to the belief that every design decision should have a purpose.
I help small business owners bring their ideas to life + attract their ideal clients with a cohesive, intentional brand. The design process can be intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be. Throughout your project, you’ll work one-on-one with me as we create a brand that will serve you for years to come.
Design has to be more than just ‘pretty’… it needs to be functional as well. Within every aspect of my work, I strive to achieve this balance.
Some of my favorite things: having adventures with my husband, snuggling with my fur baby, gizmo, drinking all the oat milk lattes, throwing clay on a pottery wheel, gardening + strolling farmer’s markets.

The Studio
Since launching the studio in 2007, Design Makes Me Happy has helped clients bring life to their business through design. While we all want something pretty, design isn’t just about making something that looks good. I believe your visuals are there to clearly communicate who you are, what you do, and the experience a potential customer will have with you. DMMH helps do that through branding, print + web design.
While currently a one-woman operation, I work with talented photographers, illustrators, printers + web developers to ensure all visual materials are exactly the way we want them to be.
We may be a good fit if…
-
- You are passionate, love your business + excited to get started.
- You love the style of my work + aesthetic.
- You are willing to give me design freedom (according to your vision, of course).
- You want a designer that will 100% back your idea + is committed to helping you succeed
Jen’s refined approach to design absolutely exceeded our expectations. Her high standard to attain excellence is undeniable. With the polished and modern website Jen designed, our online presence has risen to a new level. Not only do I have confidence in her as a creative artist and designer, but also as a business professional. She understands the demands of the business world and is able to move at your pace. I could not have dreamed of a more compatible designer for our project. Jen is a gem! Know that you are working with the best!
