Custom Boxes and Albums
Jennifer has worked with people to
design personalized wish boxes and photo albums for birthdays, weddings, baby showers and other special occasions.
Cheryl's Dreaming Big, a Chicago-based non-profit, requested a custom box. They had a meeting to educate a partner organization about their programs for empowering adults with mental illness to achieve their greatest potential.
Jennifer found decorative paper for their "dream box" that evoked the blue sky with clouds used in the Cheryl's Dreaming Big logo. In the meeting, the CDB team took everyone through a visualization of their big dream and had them write it on cards that were placed inside the dream box.
"The box was beautiful and so impactful. Thank you for sharing your gifts." – Brighid O'Shaughnessy, Executive Director, Cheryl's Dreaming Big
Collage Art
A collage book is a wonderful way to celebrate and honor the story of your life or a loved one's. This unique keepsake makes a treasured heirloom gift for a milestone birthday, anniversary or other special occasion.
Jennifer will
partner with you to uncover what the story is that you wish to tell, using coaching questions and
creative visualization. You can provide the elements and ideas: photos, quotes, memories, letters, sketches, maps, tickets
stubs and other ephemera and Jennifer can combine into a compelling and beautiful visual story.
Jennifer created an artist collage book in honor of her grandfather. Ernest Fukuda was the first Japanese-American to be employed by the Los Angeles Water and Power Department.
Jennifer combined excerpts from a DWP interview with her grandfather and his life history with poignant photos and images to tell his personal story.
Cards
Jennifer can partner with you to create custom cards for thank yous, client correspondence or special occasions.
"Jennifer does beautiful work! I asked her to design a set of notecards for my managing director role with
eWomenNetwork. She managed to take her beauty and combine it with my personality to create the perfect card. I love them. If you want special
and unique gifts or cards for you, your business, friends or family Jennifer and Ayako Arts is worth looking
at!"
– Ann Evanston, San Francisco Managing Director, eWomenNetwork
