Bio
Brodie Rich
I managed Jen while at BEAM and really respect her three Cs: creativity, craftsmanship and collaboration. Jen always brought fresh thinking and design aesthetics to all of her work. She has a broad range of skills that make her an asset on any team. From branding to UI design, UX thinking to design systems, Jen can do it all and make it look easy.

Jen Magathan is an excellent Graphic Designer. Jen designed our logo and wine bottle labels for our small business, White Plains Farm & Vineyard located in Old Church, Virginia. She developed our logo from a rough hand sketch and captured our vision and brand image perfectly. Jen also coordinated production and printing of specialty wine labels for our sparkling rose. The result was stunning. We loved working with Jen as her creativity and desire to meet customer expectations made the process easy and seamless. We highly recommend her for graphic design services.
