Jenna Van Hout is a Product + Visual Designer.
I create beautiful user-centered experiences for companies doing interesting things. I offer fractional & project-based design support, helping companies to better serve their users through empathy-driven design processes. I believe that the best outcomes emerge from putting the user first.
I am also a ceramic artist, where I get to live the design process in three dimensions as I explore the junction of form and function.
Over the last 15 years, I’ve designed products, brands, websites, and most other things, too. I've worked with Fortune 500 companies, startups, non-profits, financial institutions, and everything in between.
