Meet the Team
Jennifer Malisauskas, co-founder
Lead Web and Graphic Designer
I graduated from Montreal’s esteemed Collège Inter-Dec in 1998 with a degree in Graphic Design that laid the foundation for my fantastic career. After graduation, I honed my talents by working at various renowned web and graphic design firms in Montreal. Over the years, I developed a keen eye for aesthetics and refined my technical skills.
In 2001, driven by a desire for creative independence, I started Lapbaby Designs with my husband after our son was born. With more than 24 years of industry experience, I have developed an exceptional design sensibility that transforms ideas into visually stunning realities. I excel in crafting engaging layouts, mastering the intricacies of information architecture, and have a strong specialization in WordPress. My expertise extends to social media marketing and the fundamentals of print design, making me a versatile asset in today’s digital landscape. My passion for design and unwavering commitment to quality continues to inspire me.
