GRAPHIC DESIGN, SELF-EMPLOYMENT & LIFE IN GENERAL!

Disclaimer: It is design week and I hope I will be able to articulate myself well in these posts. Due to my high energy and overall excitement about the events, these posts may seem a bit over the top, full of emotions and as a whole… will probably contain a ton of exclamation marks. Let’s just say… you have been warned.

(This coming weekend, you can expect a full video recap and video clips from each day on my YouTube Channel! Follow me on twitter & instagram – I will post the link there when it is posted! Or subscribe to my channel to see it first! In the mean time, I will be blogging here all week!)

Whoa. Today was a busy day! THREE events! I am feeling a bit tired, but am excited to share with you my day… and what an eye opening, shift thinking, type of day it was!

The first event I went to was “Designing for Social Change” put on by The Metropolitan Group. 

I got a little lost finding the place and while I was struggling looking at my map, someone comes up to me and asks “are you looking for The Metropolitan Group?”. I was so thankful she spoke up, because we quickly found where we needed to go. Once we got to our final destination, the desk asked us our names and I said “Jehn Glynn, G-L-Y-N-N”. And the girl who I met outside looked at me and goes “So, this might be creepy, but my name is Kristen & I follow you on twitter. I participated in your #heyjehnlook project on your last typography video!” I wanted to give her a hug. She was the first person, who wasn’t in my family, who participated in that project and it really meant a lot to me. Right after Kristen and I finished gushing and laughing about meeting twitter friends in real life, some guy says “not to add to the creepiness… but I am the voice behind DWPDX. You sent me the direct message yesterday and we communicated,” So funny! Met two twitter friends today! I knew after that, i was ready to take on the day!

Today I fell in love.

I have been to dig a pony a time or two and those times were mainly in the evening.

I forget how pretty it is in here during the day. Portland businesses really pay special attention to the details in their branding, it is one of the many reasons I love it here & this place is no exception.

If you have the chance, I recommend coming to this place while the sun is still out.

Hi guys!

I am so excited to launch my new website. This new site, to me, is symbolic of a new chapter for me in my life and it feels really cool and important. This video was really fun and enjoyable for me to make – I did not have any plan for the header, so you got to see a little bit of what my creative process can look like. Each project is different for me, in terms of my creative process. I plan on making more videos like this – so stay tuned for those!
You are all amazing and don’t forget that it is okay to believe in yourself! YOU are worth it!

Thank you for reading and watching!
