My friend Barnaby (my hubby still calls him Marcel ) #K My sister, who I am currently road tripping California with (checkout my stories for the highlight reel), thinks he looks a bit mullet wearing I think she may be a bit influenced by our recent experiences in a couple towns that weren’t our favorites. #36daysoftype_k #36daysoftype08 #36daysoftype #typedesign #typography #lettering #handdrawnart #handlettered #handletteringpractice #graphicdesign #36days #jencloesdesigns #sloth #barnaby_k

This coyote is stalking our Buddy (year old labradoodle) It waits about 10 feet from our doggy door for our bark, but no bite pup to come out. We have scared it off, but it keeps coming back nightly. Any suggestions? We are going to be putting in a fence, but that is going to take time. It’s a huge open and rocky property. #ramonalife #countryliving #labradoodlelove #coyoteproblems #jencloesdesigns #countryproperty #goawaycoyotes

My Monday Motivation!! Only a month left of 2020. I don’t know about you, but I have not used this quarantine as best as I could. I have enjoyed my family, food and tv a whole lot It’s time to start thinking about how amazing 2021 has got to be!! Are you taking care of you? It’s been so easy for me to get wrapped up in taking care of everyone else. I cook, clean, tv rest and repeat. ... #seizetheday #jencloesdesigns #dailylettering #handletteringlove #handletteringpractice #graphicdesigndaily #motivationmonday #typedesigndaily

This hurts my fierce female heart!! Since the start of the pandemic, millions of jobs have vanished. Although the US labor market is recovering, we're still nearly 13 million jobs short of February's employment total. The crisis has been worse for women than for men, and worse for Black and Hispanic people than for White workers. Although male-dominated jobs were the first to go in past recessions, Covid-19 has hit the service sector and consumer-facing jobs the hardest. Tho...se are more often than not held by women. In July, the unemployment rate for women over the age of 20 was 11.1% before seasonal adjustments, compared with 9.2% for men. Black and Hispanic women fared much worse than White women, with unemployment rates north of 14% in the same category in July. "We know that women still shoulder the majority of the responsibility for care work. When these care work demands go up it's totally reasonable to assume that this falls more to women than men," Heidi Shierholz, senior economist at the Economic Policy Institute said. "Women will see income declines, because of cutting back hours and some will just end up dropping out." "All of this exacerbates gender inequality," she added. At the end of last year, America's labor force was more or less split evenly between men and women. In fact, at 50.04%, women held slightly more jobs than men in December. It was the first time that happened in nearly a decade. After the pandemic, it could take a long time until we get back there. #fempreneur #feminist #jencloesdesigns #handlettered #dailytype #wepersist #genderequality #equalitymatters #impactsofcovid19 #fiercefemales #savvybusinesswomen #creativewomencommunity #ladieswhodesign #girlsartistgang #femaleentrepreneur #futureisfemale

One thing with Covid keeping us all home is that online business’, especially educational courses, have excelled greatly. The good news for me, as a designer, is that effective visual communication is at an all time necessity. I recently read that design-centric companies outperform the S&P 500 by more than 211% (according to the Design Management Institute (DMI) Starting in January my schedule is opening up, so if you need my help, get on my consultation calendar now ... #Bossbabe #Graphicdesign #Fempreneur #womenempowerment #smallbusiness #Businessindustry #graphicdesigner #femalehustler #womenwhohustle #femaleentrepreneurs #womenempoweringwomen #womensupportwomen #successfulwomen #femalefounders #shemeansbusiness #savvybusinessowner #womeninbiz #wellnessjourney #timetohustle #businesssuccess #logodesigner #logodesign #designinspiration #jencloesdesigns #onlineeducation #onlineeventdesign

What have you enjoyed about 2020? I have found that when under pressure, my heart is what is slowly drained away. I forget to have compassion with myself and eventually others. In these times when our future is unclear or seems scary, let’s make a conscience effort to have heart.... Yes, I know 2020 hasn’t been the year we all expected. But, there are some major wins we need to recognize. More time with those who truly matter to us. More connection with our homes, our social needs and our boundaries. It hasn’t been easy for anyone, especially those who have lost people they love. So have heart! #handlettered #lettering #haveheart #2020inspiration #jencloesdesigns #inspiredaily #handrawntype #typefun #letsrallytogether #fridayvibes #socialmediawithsoul #gratitude #growth #thanksgiving #mindsetmatters #dailytype #typegang #goodtype #goodtypepositivevibes #femaleentrepreneur #graphicdesign #graphicart

A great Monday morning hike with friends. I know #sandiego isn’t very #fall like. But brown is a fall color, right?! This hike is the perfect amount of challenging, but not too grueling. How are you starting your week out?

Super impressed with #redbubble They made this design of mine look fantastic I’m so impressed with the variety of things they now offer. This sweatshirt is ohhh so soft!!
