americana groove

Hard to believe, but it's about that time again. We're gearing up for another year of working with the Americana Music Association. This year we are shaking up the look of their materials quite a bit with a retro/mod design. Here's just a peak at what we're working on.

jarrard work

Some of Tenn Hens very first clients are still with us today & we think that's pretty cool. It makes for an easy relationship because you know how one another works and things seem to cluck along seamlessly. Jarrard, Phillips, Cate, & Hancock is a group we partnered with early on and we continue to help them with various marketing/design needs. Here's just a sampling of projects we've been busy creating for them.

chalkboard art

Check out these chalkboard graphics. Amazing right?? The woman behind them, Dana Tanamachi, is a graphic designer / custom chalk letterer. Love the simple black & white, the fonts, just all of it.

southern living weddings

We've been waiting and waiting to share the news, but Tenn Hens work is featured in Southern Living Weddings edition!!!!! We got a call a few months ago from someone at the magazine who'd found our blog. We didn't think too much of it until they asked us for samples of our work. I packaged them up and sent off the package with fingers tightly crossed. Sure enough they wanted to feature Bonnie's wedding invitation that we designed in '08. We are beyond thrilled to be included in such a beautiful publication.

And just in time for wedding season. If you're interested in any custom design work, please contact us for more information.  info@tennhens.com / 615.791.7083

gigi's cupcakes

Tenn Hens designed the branding and packaging for Gigi's Cupcakes. We created a new logo, color palette, and cupcake box designs. Sure makes you want a taste of something sweet, huh?! Their stores are popping up all over the place as their business expands.

Over the holidays we designed quite a few holiday cards, but admittedly we're a little partial to this particular card. Must be the precious baby!

some new work

Tis the season again (see last year)… so Tenn Hens assisted PharmMD with their annual holiday card. A clever play off the logo and the letterpress printing really made it a special piece for folks to receive in the mail.




…and below is a new brochure we designed. Churches Together is on a mission of helping those in need in Africa through church-led holistic ministries. The creative simply delivers their message while showcasing the beautifully shot images.

americana music is a risin'

The Americana Music Association has been a client of ours for the last 5 years and it's a joy to work with such a creative group. Plus the genre "Americana" has been on the rise and this years event in Nashville did not disappoint. Their award show represented folks like Robert Plant, John Mellencamp, Roseanne Cash, and Ryan Bingham. Pretty darn cool! Music city is a lucky place to be.

We created everything from posters, signage, and ads to a book for the festival.

up up and away

Currier grew up in downtown Franklin, Tennessee. Back when it was just a simple little town with not a lot going on. Well, today, it's a hot spot for shopping and dining. Even the old theater is being restored. The Heritage Foundation is one of the organizations to thank for it's success. They're a non-profit dedicated to protecting and preserving the historic resources in Franklin.

Their largest fundraiser is the Heritage Ball and they asked us to design this years program. H3 did the event design and created an "up up and away" theme. We were happy to help with such a special evening and wish the folks at Heritage much continued success.

brickyard bbq

Cold beer & smokey barbecue on a hot summer night with friends, makes for a good party. This one was particularly special as it was an engagement party. We incorporated a brick wall illustration to play off the family brick-making business. And what's a barbecue without a pig? Guests even got to take a little secret family sauce home to taste. Such a cute way to kick off the nuptials! …see more on Oh So Beautiful Paper

sevier & white interiors

Remember our friends Sevier & White? Well, they've been busy with change. New design projects, the arrival of a baby, and an office move. The ladies closed the doors of their beautiful retail store, Petit Chateau, to focus completely on their interior design business. So they called on Tenn Hens for an identity spiff up! Be on the look out for their blog… they're going to have design tips, inspiration and showcase cool new projects.



Just to peak your interest… this is a home they designed and had featured in the pages of Southern Living.

story of a song

A weekend turn around deadline is not ideal, but our client was in a bind and luckily we were there to step in. Below is the DVD cover we created for a documentary exploring the phenomenon of one of Gospel music’s favorite songs. The cover required multiple artist photos, but we wanted to retain a light and inspirational feel in the design as well. We hope the new packaging will help bring them success in spreading their story of a song.

movin' on and along

Well folks, we have some news to share. Tenn Hens has moved! We had a wonderful 4 years on Acklen Avenue, but it was time for a change. Not to worry… it's business as usual and we're still cluckin' along at full speed this summer. Same phone and email as before so give us a ring any time to talk biz. or just to chat. We'd love to hear from you. Cheers, Bonnie + Currier

bun in the oven

The big news around our office these days is there's a bun in the oven. That's right. Miss Bonnie's having a baby! To celebrate the upcoming event, we put our heads together to design a fun shower invitation. We love any excuse to celebrate! The type and design was all illustrated by hand in a whimsical, funky style. After all, this was no ordinary shower. No overly sweet pink or blue here. It needed to be kind of cool and most of all… really fun. Plus Bonnie's not finding out the gender so we had to keep it all sort of neutral. The corners were rounded, the invites were mounted on blue hued paper stocks, and each one was tied up fittingly with bakers twine. All that was the left were the envelopes. We used old stamps we'd collected mixed with new abstract art ones that were just released. And we mixed in some envelope liners to really make this package feel special. Now we just wait on the bun in the oven. It will be the newest member of the Tenn Hens family nest!

Oh and we got a little pub from a fabulous blog… check it out! Oh So Beautiful Paper
