ABOUT

Helloooo. My name is Jana and I live on the "rainy" side of Washington state. My values and grit were shaped by growing up on a farm on the "sunny" side of the state. I love both worlds. By day I'm a thoughtful visual designer, brand consultant and occasional illustrator for others. By night, I design greeting cards, jam labels and other ephemera for myself. I share some of those things here at The Brightest Halo. My brain is also layered with keeping a household running, being married and raising two teenage boys into caring human beings. (If you're a parent, you know how much mind space this takes. I'm not complaining. I'm just sharing.) On the days that I prioritize "jana-time," you might find me on a hike or decorating a birthday cake or reading cookbooks.

The Brightest Halo started on a whim when I created a set of cards based on the Bible verse Galatians 5:22-23 and someone said, "You should sell these!" And voila! In my desire to reach everyone, I make two versions of each card: one with a Bible verse and one without. 

I'm not consumed by social media but please, do join me on instagram.

Or just give me a holler at hello@studiojny.com.
