Tonight I went and saw Stefan Sagmeister do this talk on happiness. I have seen him talk a bunch of times on happiness, but only through videos online. Even though his content was pretty much the same… it was what happened after the show that was the most magical.

But first, on with the show. Well, let me back up… I have been a fan of Stefan for a very very long time. I am semi obsessed with album art and Lou Reed, and when I learned he did art work for Lou Reed back in in 1996, I was instantly hooked. The album was full of handwritten typography that I could just not get enough of. So, it was really cool getting to meet someone whose work you have been paying attention to for years.

Ok, now on with the show.

Holy shit. It’s only Tuesday? That means three more days of feeling the way I am feeling right now (enlightened, exhausted and excited… all at once)? THE THREE E’S? I’M IN! *thumbs up!*

Tonight I attended Curiosity Club Panel Discussion “This is It – Or is It? “ at Hand-Eye Supply

I did not even tweet during this event, because I was so fixated on every word the panel was saying. I, however, filled my notebook with quotes after quotes after quotes. Which I am going to share with you!

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 | Dig A Pony | Portland, Oregon

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.

Watch Jehn Design: New website header

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!

My August Favorites

Hey!

Hi guys! I know this video went up late – sometimes life happens and life comes before your passions. I filmed this video at the end of August, I just did not have time to sit down and edit it.
This month has been amazing though, my family came into town – I got to meet my 5 month old niece and it was truly a special time. The day I have off to film every week, I spent cuddling and just watching her. She is seriously adorable! I miss her and my family already.

I hope you enjoy my August favorites video none the less! I love making these videos and sharing things I have been loving, with you guys! What favorite things have you been loving this month? As you can see, I don’t have a strict theme to mine… which means you don’t either. You can tell me anything from your favorite conversation you had this month, to your favorite lollipop :) All things in life are important!

Enjoy the rest of your day,
