About Me
Experimenting with art, design, and code is a hobby that has shaped my journey since I was around 14. Today, I help people solve creative problems for print and web.
Hello, I’m Jaclyn, a graphic designer, artist, and front-end developer based in Perth Australia. I help people with custom websites, print, illustration, creative projects, marketing, as well as ongoing website maintenance and ad-hoc print and digital work for small and large businesses.
I focus on simple functionality, thoughtful details, resilient code, meaningful stories, and most importantly, genuine, loving relationships based on integrity, trust, and reliability.
I love helping people see the beauty in creation using colour, art and design, and I strive to bring joy, inspiration, and functionality to everyday life.
I am often experimenting with different media and techniques, and enjoy creative problem-solving and making ideas tangible- if it's with sparkles and rainbows, even better! I am particularly drawn to understated, elegant design that speaks to people's hearts without unnecessary fluff and jargon.
I love making art, making friends and happy memories, baking on a whim, craft projects, sparkles and rainbows, cute and useful stationery, learning from people, making things tangible, experiencing the joy and beauty of life.
