Jai Arun Ravine

Jai is an inventive shapeshifter whose skills manifest in the unique quality of each work produced. Jai listens deeply to the rhythm of each artist and then infuses that beat with their own to invent a new collaborative dance. Fellow artists benefit from Jai’s restless, multi-faceted creativity to reach new dimensions of space and time. Jai is a self-taught border crosser, at times between lands of great danger and pain. They are a magic vessel with capacity to hold wonders beyond the limits of “she” or “he.” Jai turns these journeys into treasures for the community chest.

I appreciated that Jai guided me through the entire process, from site design to content organization. They were knowledgeable, creative, and generous. I felt supported because every time I emailed a question, Jai was quick to respond. I love my site, and I have received many compliments since it launched.

When I asked Jai to update my catalog it was because I realized I didn’t have time to do it myself and I trusted them to do it competently. I underestimated what a difference their work would make! When I received the updated file from them, I was blown away by the thoughtfulness, creativity and skill they had put into it. They went above and beyond what I asked and used their talent to create a much more professional and polished catalog than what I had before.

Working with Jai has been and continues to be a great experience. Jai is able to take the multitude of details needed for an event and create a coherent and beautiful design. Jai is extremely timely and responsive to all questions. Jai helps make an image come to life through an acute sense of the overall vibe of what is to come.

[Jai was] great to work with, responsive and willing to work in my budget. Jai’s background as a writer really helped with the layout of dear Gerald—they understood the importance of keeping line breaks. I particularly liked it when they caught errors and misspellings. Jai has an easy-going nature, and supported my design ideas with their graphic design know-how.

Jai was exquisitely creative, flexible and responsive to work with! They met with me in person, leaned in and listened with authenticity and care to my description of my work, presented more than one design to begin with, worked with my feedback and ideas, and returned with the perfect design. I couldn’t be happier with it or more proud of my website.

I felt like Jai created an amazing visual of what I wanted, even when I was not sure I described it very well. All of my questions were answered, sometimes before I knew I had them. […] I will bring all of my design projects to Jai because I know my vision will be created and respected. I felt heard and that goes a long way to helping me vision my own business and what it needs.

Jai created a website that reflected my personality and my movement style, and that had a clear, organized, and beautiful design. […] Somehow they took all of [our conversations] and created a site that met all of my needs and some I didn’t even know I had! I felt like Jai believed in me and truly wanted to help me share my work with a larger audience through the website.

I enjoyed working with another artist because they were able to understand the aspects of the site which might be most important to viewers. They also had a clear picture as an artist why I would go back and forth through the options carefully rather than rushing a decision based on the most simple design choice.
