Jenny H. Westphal
MEET JEN. JEN IS AN ART DIRECTOR AND DESIGNER.
WHERE ARE YOU FROM?
Born and raised in West Bend, WI; but I now reside in Milwaukee, WI.
DESIGN? WHY DO IT?
I've always loved art and design, however for me design is and has always been a challenge– It's not just about me making "it pretty" it's about creating a beautiful concept that also accomplishes an important task for my clients...and nothing makes me happier than satisfied clients.
MOSTLY B2B, WHY?
Business to business is the area of design that I started in, and while it's been great to me I do love to try new areas of design. This also happens to be the exact reason that I love to work with freelance clients. Hearing new projects usually ends up with me researching, cross training or simply educating myself about their area of expertise.
WHO/WHAT INFLUENCES YOU?
Other rivals– it's very easy for me to get designer envy. I do adore the work of Jessica Hische, Anthony Peters and Eight Hour Day. I guess I enoy the fact that they focus on custom solutions that push boundaries.
