Van Hout Design is the design studio of Jenna Van Hout.
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.
Over the last 17+ 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.
