Form. Function. And Fun.

Artistic Flair with a love for dogs!

There are people who own dogs, and then there are ‘crazy dog lovers.’ My name is Jennifer Ward, and I am the latter. When I attended Washington State University, my initial studies were aimed towards a career in Veterinary Medicine. But classes like biology, chemistry and physics did nothing for my lifelong artistic leanings. So, instead of a DVM, and much to my parents dismay, I received a degree in Advertising and Graphic Design.

But my love of ‘four-footed’ companions directed everything from the name of my company, to my co-workers. My office is lined with amazing artwork of dogs, most of them yellow. A giant dog bed sits in the corner, and both resident and foster dogs come and go, making themselves comfortable.

Pick Of The Litter Design was founded shortly after college. I began working in the role of graphic designer for mostly corporate firms, but the need for a freelance company was built by working with small and local businesses. Eventually, I ditched the suits and began working from home for companies of all sizes, city and state agencies, and non-profits.

In 2008, along with my dear friend Elizabeth, we founded our own non-profit – Save-A-Mutt, a dog rescue group. Did I mention I’m a Crazy Dog Lover!? We have adopted out over 2,000 dogs (and cats) since then and it’s an important part of who I am. Plus I get to design all kinds of fun swag and t-shirts for the group.

Design should be creative and functional

Pick Of The Litter provides graphic design and marketing techniques that are innovative and fun, yet keep your end goals in mind. As a full service design firm – I do it all… logo and brand packages; print design such as brochures, posters, postcards – including production and direct mail services; social media and web design; and even promotional products.

I have a sharp eye for detail and a strong sense of visual storytelling. My logo designs are clean and strategically crafted to reflect each client’s unique identity. I thrive on collaborating with small businesses that support their local communities, helping them build meaningful brands that connect with their audience. Blending artistic flair with practical expertise, I delivers thoughtful, high-quality work for companies who appreciate design with personality. And as a self employed businesswoman, I understand the importance of a budget. I have all kinds of amazing vendors that provide excellent pricing.
