Howdy, I’m Jaelen

 

my design style

I believe understanding a person's background is essential in capturing who they are as an individual. I put that same theory into my work. My perception of design and creativity comes from my daily experiences and the people I meet and surround myself with. Not a single creation of mine was brought to life by mere requirement or obligation. They were born and cultivated from a distinct purpose of passion, curiosity, and the underlying understanding that we can and need to do better as a society. I desire to make people experience life and reflect on their own through my work. I aspire to see myself in a fresh, new light for each project I create and I strive for others to do the same.

my personal style

I am a 30 year old girl from Houston, TX. I collect vintage autobiographies and handwritten letters. I steal all of my jokes from John Mulaney, and I can quote every line from How I Met Your Mother (even though some might see that as a bad quality). My taste in beverages is equivalent to that of a 60 year old Irishman and you should never leave me alone around a candy jar. I love anything antique - I appreciate things that have a story. I believe you can never have too many plants or favorite songs. I’m a big fan of unofficial holidays, like National Disco Day, and celebrating everything and everyone around me - especially for the little things. One day i’ll live on my own farm in Upstate New York surrounded by my cows, my chickens and my garden. Until then, I spend my time people-watching, touring local breweries, going on road trips with my friends and family, screaming 90s rock at the top of my lungs and wishing Kurt Cobain was still alive.

Now that you know a little about me, i’d love to know a little about you. As my good friend Kurt would say, come as you are.
