Waves In Color Co.

Just a friendly reminder ✨ ✨

Whoaa this last quarter was 🤪 but I made it!! I’ve been in business for 4 years now. As I’m moving towards my 5th year, I finally made the decision to become an LLC ✨

Waves in Color is now Waves in Color Co. LLC. This is what I always intended for my business, but starting out I was full of fear & doubt and didn’t “want to get ahead of myself.”

My brother warned me about transitioning to a new name & the hurtles that come with it. I shrugged it off, because it’s what I really wanted for myself. Well…everything that could go wrong, did. Everything from my email address getting shut down unexpectedly to losing files in the process. Feeling alone through it all because you don’t want to bother anyone (this season is a stressful time for EVERYONE). I could compile a nice ole list, I felt defeated. But this isn’t a post about feeling sorry for myself or me complaining (maybe I just vented a little. I’m grateful, trust me 🙃).

It’s a post about growth & with growth comes some pain. I’m learning that with anything you love, pain is inevitable but needed. You work hard to get through it, allow yourself to feel all the feelings and you make it out alive. Wiser and full of gratitude.

All to this to say, this year I’ve learned to embrace the messy. Owning a business isn’t a linear path, it’s your own journey and there is NO PERFECT WAY to do it all. I’m still learning everyday (hope that doesn’t stop). I still have to take social media breaks from time to time (it’s what works for my mental health and I’m okay with it). But my point is that if your dream is still living in your heart, it’s important that you keep going!

Whatever joys you have faced this year, I hope you have taken the time to celebrate. And whatever hardships you may have encountered, I hope that they have made you stronger & pivoted you to the next step in your journey!

Btw I also turned 39 two weeks ago 😮, time flies! I’m ending this by sharing my beautiful birthday flowers with you, because like flowers we all take our own time to bloom! Sending my love to you all 💗 Adios 2021!

💖 Happy Monday beautiful people!💖

I want to reintroduce myself since it's been awhile. My name is Jenn Jiron and I'm the owner of . I'm a Latina graphic designer, who loves art, laughter, color and the ocean.

Being an artist has always been a passion for me since I was a child, and I must admit that my parents weren't too keen on me choosing this as a career path. The world of Graphic Design and technology was introduced to me during my senior year of high school when I had the opportunity to shadow a department of a major corporation. After that, I knew the path that I was taking and no one could stop me.

After receiving a BFA in Graphic Design from George Mason University, my first job was working as a Production artist. Soon after, I became an expert artist designing custom apparel and specialty products. Eventually, I shifted directions and started working at an ad agency in Washington, D.C.

A few years later, life took a different turn and I found myself working and fighting s*x trafficking cases and searching for missing children. A move to Hawaii soon followed, along with a divorce and I found myself starting over. Never in my mind did I imagine that saying yes to one project would lead me to where I am now.

Along the way, I've learned a great deal. Experienced great days and terrible days, but I've discovered myself as an artist. I've learned the meaning of self love and have become a confident (I have my moments ) boss lady despite having ADHD (no longer ashamed to admit it). Being your own boss and showing up every day isn't easy (pictures don't do justice) but it's worth it. I've become my true self through this journey.

In the coming year, it's my goal to continue helping clients turn their ideas into reality as well as expand into new areas (stay tuned). A sincere MAHALO to everyone who has always been supportive and by my side along the way, without you I wouldn't have made it this far! Waves in Color Co. has been a dream come true and I'm deeply grateful. 💖
