JEN YURKO

Hello! My name is Jen and I’ve been at PBP for the last 8 years as a designer and, for the last several years, as an admin and (non-professional) IT gal as well 😉 I’m married with kids, all of whom have grown and moved out into the world, so when we bought a house this year, we downsized into a 3 bedroom. That kind of hurt. I was happy & sad about it at the same time! In my downtime, I like to listen to audiobooks, play Mario Kart with my youngest and my brother on the Switch, and hang out on my new back porch with my dog ♥

We’re thrilled that you can find her designs EXCLUSIVELY at Pickleberrypop!

DESiGNER Q & A

When is your favorite time of day the day to design?

I don’t have a favorite time of day – I have a favorite situation during the day. The husband has to either be not home or asleep, otherwise I cannot get anything done on my computer. After almost 4 years, my husband and his coworkers are still working from home, except on Mondays & Tuesdays (mandatory face-to-face meetings), and he goes to bed around 9pm. It’s a good thing I am a night owl!

What do you have in the works right now?

I’m working on a couple of different projects – a collab collection with my bestie, Jenn, so there’s a new JenN {Squared} collab coming. I’m also working on September’s installment of the My Frame of Mind series. I like to try to work 3 months ahead of schedule, that way I don’t have a mental breakdown when I have classes or want to go out of town to visit family – or both – and things run smoothly on the digital scrapbooking end of my life.

If you weren’t designing scrapbook kits, what would you be doing?

I’d be double-timing it on my Graphic Design major at Arizona State University. I’ve really been enjoying their classes, and the typography classes have given me a new respect for type designers. WOW. I can’t wait until I’m officially ‘educated’ with a piece of paper on the wall that says I’m qualified to do what I’m already doing, LOL!

How do you stay organized? Or are you organized at all?

I am an extremely organized person, but ADHD works against me. Buying a house and moving into it has ruined my life for about 5 months now, lol. I’ve been constantly on the move, picking things up, putting things away, finding new homes for things, or surfing Amazon for cute and pretty stuff to decorate my house with. I’m constantly cleaning out folders on my computer – rearranging and reorganizing, plus I have at least 14 different projects started around the house for any given room. It’s all very organized in a very unorganized way!

What do you do when you have a creative block?

Sometimes, I’ll get requests, and I’ll go pawing through the internet to look for inspiration. If I don’t have any requests, I’ll either read a book or go find those 14 different projects around the house and actually try to finish them while I wait for my mojo to return 😉
