Star Mile Who? What? Why?


Star Mile Designs. Which is essentially me, Jenny Begin. Every now and then I work with a few talented contractors, but I am the one who will be responding to your emails and doing all your dirty work. I'm from Boulder, CO and went to the University of Colorado for math and astronomy. After some experimentation with different careers (teaching... stock market... insurance...) I decided to enroll at the Art Institute of Colorado to earn a certificate in Digital Graphic Design. Now my creative side gets nurtured and I get to listen to music while I work. All is well.

client Testimonials


Thank you Star Mile Designs for your fabulous work on this new site. It's very professional, unique and it uses elements of my EP artwork. Exactly what we wanted! The work was done promptly, and efficiently, and Jenny was just a doll to work with. I would definitely recommend her services to anyone in need of a MySpace makeover!
- Kevin Steinman, musician


I am in love with Star Mile Designs! I found Jenny and Star Mile through another artists' page on MySpace and that was when I knew I needed to have a professional looking page that would make people stop and listen. And that is exactly what Jenny has created for me. She is an incredible artist with an eye for exactly the style of design you are looking for. I couldn't be happier with the way my 'space' turned out! THANK YOU JENNY!!!
- Molly Jenson, musician

Star Mile Designs opened up the doors for us to the myspace community by offering good reasons for people to return to the site: content, functionality and a great design aesthetic!
- Barry Privett, Carbon Leaf

I am a do-it-yourself kind of guy. I know just enough about graphic and web design to hurt myself. Numerous times, I tried to create a fantastic MySpace page of my own, but I was never satisfied. I spent a lot of time looking at other profiles that inspired me, grabbed my attention and held it for a significant amount of time. I looked at these profiles with the intention of using some of the design ideas for my own page. There was one thing that I found that they all had in common... They were all created by Jenny of Star Mile Designs! Naturally, I contacted her to design my page. She is a complete joy to work with and extremely talented. She did exactly what I wanted, 100 times better than I could have done, in a fraction of the time. The moral of the story - don't do it yourself, do it with Jenny.
- Alec Bridges, Musician

In brief, I have found working with Jenny at Star Mile Designs almost calming. She takes care of or MySpace design and up keep with precision and style. We discuss a direction, supply the content, and it's done. That simple.
- George Hess, VP Marketing and Promotion, Strictly Rhythm Records

You could not hope to find a more professional, personable, or capable designer than Jenny. MySpace pages are truly a beast unto themselves, but Jenny knows how to tame them to look just the way you want them to. I will be eternally grateful to her for rescuing my MySpace page as well as being so easy and fun to work with. I have told her that I wish I had a "Jenny" to help me with everything... a "Jenny" lawyer, a "Jenny" gardener, a "Jenny" car repair specialist. The world would be a better, happier place if everyone was as competent as she is at doing their jobs and charged such reasonable rates for their services!
- Rosanna Lee, host of "The Deep End" KCSN 88.5FM in Los Angeles

Jenny has become an instrumental force in helping Joe Purdy's MySpace community become viral and empowering community for fans to share his music and for our team to market his albums and tours. She understands how to help combine our players, links to iTunes, and mail order into banners and code. We've been able to create thousands of Joe Purdy store fronts. 
- Brian Klein,  manager of Joe Purdy

I am thrilled with my Star Mile myspace design! I knew I needed to get a custom design for my music page for sometime but had been putting it off due to lack of time. I am a graphic designer myself but once I saw Jenny's design skills paired with her myspace coding technique I knew I needed to hire her to get the job done so I could focus on other things. Jenny was so professional and answered all of my many questions. She got a feel for what I was looking for and completely delivered. Her designs are just amazing! Not only does my page look great but it helps my fans navigate better which has definitely increased my CD sales.
- Kim DiVine, Musician.

Jenny is by far one of the most talented people I've ever worked with. She has an unrivaled ability to take even the roughest idea and turn it into something amazing that really represents the artist. Her customer service is incredible, and she has the wonderful gift of absolute patience, which is a life saver if you really don't know exactly what you're looking for. I would recommend her services without batting an eye to any musician looking for a high quality product.
- Brandon Chandler, musician

Jenny is a creative genius! I didn't know what I wanted my page to look like, but somehow she did. And the best part about working with her is that, unlike most gifted artists, she is extremely prompt and reliable.
- Joey Ryan, musician

Jenny - We can't thank you enough for the show posters and myspace site. You did a GREAT job and we are all very pleased. It is rare in this day and age that a product or service exceeds ones expectations and that is exactly what you did. We sent out a mass email yesterday announcing the new site and have received so many positive comments we are having trouble keeping up with the emails. I look forward to teaming up with you again on other projects. On behalf of myself, Daniel Brindley, and everyone that works with Chelsea as she gets her career off the ground our "hats are off to you" for a job well done. Thank you again.
- Scott Lee, Chelsea Lee Music

Star Mile Designs is one of the top design firms in the business, not only do they have constant and almost daily contact with their clients but their clients ALWAYS love the finished product, and so do their managers!
- Jonathan Klear, Highnoon Entertainment

Jenny has a genuine knack of presenting something in an entirely unique and inventive way.
- Christian Miller, UK Films & Music

As a DIY musician, I must confess I attempted several times to design my own MySpace page in order to best present my music. Then one day I discovered The Fray's page, and dug a little deeper and found some of Jen's other work, and realized she had to be the one to handle my design. However, I just knew I wouldn't be able to afford her :) Well, to my surprise, she is quite affordable and does an amazing job!
- Stephen Webster / The Colorful Quiet, musician
