Hey there, I’m McKenna — mom to two + twins, taco enthusiast, pickleball pro (okay, maybe not pro, but I try), and matcha aficionado. I’m the creative force behind Oranje Ave Design Studio, where I get to make design magic every single day. When I’m not busy transforming brands, you’ll find me embarrassing my kids with spontaneous kitchen dance-offs or hunting for the perfect Pinterest mood board.

At Oranje Ave, we specialize in creating visual experiences that make a real impact. Whether it’s through strategic brand design, stunning web design, or seamless user experiences (UX), I work with my team to elevate your brand and connect with your audience on a deeper level. (And yes, we use all the fancy design terms — typography, color theory, grids, and responsive design, but we promise it’s not as intimidating as it sounds!)

This blog? Well, it’s where I get to nerd out about design trends, share insights on upcoming visual aesthetics, and, of course, give you a peek behind the curtain at the projects we’re working on at Oranje Ave. From web redesigns to branding refreshes, we’re all about delivering fresh ideas that not only look good but feel good too. When you land here in this little space of the inter web, we want it to feel like your wrapped dup in your most delicious Pinterest board come to life!

So what can you expect from The Zest? A healthy dose of creativity, a sprinkle of trend forecasting (because who doesn’t want to know what’s next in design?), and a bit of lifestyle fun, cause honestly, we’re not stuffy around here, we like to have fun, make fun at ourselves and just be real. Whether it’s learning about the latest design tools, how to elevate your own brand, or seeing the latest projects we’ve been working on, this space will always keep things lively and inspiring.

Grab your favorite drink, (matcha anyone?) get comfy, and let’s dive into the world of design together — with just a hint of life, color, and creativity sprinkled in.

Cheers!
McKenna
