Dancing Zebras Studio is a multi-disciplinary design house where 25 years of architectural precision meets a passion for whimsical storytelling.

We bridge the gap between creative art and intentional living, offering custom pet & house portraits, and strategic systems for a well-designed life.

From the 'Slow Entertainment' of our artisanal designs to the engineered clarity of Career Redlining, we bring elevated vision and soulful strategy to every project we touch.

From Blueprints to Blue Skies

Jessica Eken, Principal & Lead Strategist

“I’ve spent decades ensuring that structures were sound, functional, and precise. Today, I’ve set aside the CAD software to return to the clarity of the red pen and the pencil stroke.

Whether I am capturing the soul of a family home in a hand-drawn elevation or redlining a professional path for a 'Dancing Zebra' seeking their next pivot, I bring the same rigor, logic, and whimsy to every project.

From my studio in Guelph, Ontario, I provide strategic design and artisanal illustrations to clients across North America.”
