What People Are Saying
“Working with Jen and Curio House has been an unbelievable experience. I started out with a dream, my restaurant concept, and had no idea how to bring the branding to life. Jen started from scratch, learning everything possible about the business and myself to figure out what I really wanted it to be. At that point, Jen worked tirelessly to create the brand. She handled all feedback and requests I had in a professional and timely manner. The end result was me finding partners to help me open my restaurant. That would have never happened had they not been so impressed with the branding of the business that brought the concept to life.”

“One year wedding anniversary means a paper gift and I wanted it to be special no doubt, but what on earth could I do with paper?! Cue Curio House. Jen took into account all the details I gave her about our first year of marriage and created a gift for my wife that far beyond exceeded my expectations. Her work is heartfelt and beautiful. I can’t wait to see more Curio’s creations!”
— Kristen
“From the impeccable craftsmanship, the paper quality, the shimmery gold foil, the remarkable level of detail that goes into the packaging - You simply can't go wrong. The phrase "paper magic" comes to mind. Curio House gifts are going to change what it means to give a gift or a card.”

If someone wrote a bio about you, what would the opening paragraph be?
Jen’s creative motivations began with Inspector Gadget.
Yes, the 80's animated television show. As a kid, she wanted to be Penny, Inspector Gadget’s niece. Smart and resourceful, Penny’s secret weapon was her high-tech computer-book. She was always there to lend a hand, get her uncle out of a sticky spot, and get creative. Jen replicated the book by making the pages out of tinfoil and using a pencil to press individual buttons into the foil. She ran around her backyard for HOURS, role playing and saving the day with her customized computer-book. Every now and again, Jen will secretly talk into her Apple watch imagining she is, once again, Penny.”
