JalenBuilds · current set
v11 vendor-ready direction
The v11 set promotes the shipped paper-led summit-mark direction into canonical SVG sources. It is the current design direction for JalenBuilds cards.
Print-ready files
Every set ships as vendor-ready artwork with bleed and safe margins handled — hand it straight to any print shop.
A QR that works for you
Each card can carry a scannable code that sends people to your site — and tells you the visit came from the card.
Matched to your brand
Cards are designed in the same palette and type as your website, so the thing people keep matches the thing they visit.
18 Holes to Home
Partner launch set
Cards made for the 18 Holes to Home real-estate round — a broker card, a lending partner card, and a brand leave-behind, in the cedar, paper, and gold palette.

JalenBuilds · design lineage
How the card got here
Every prior JalenBuilds direction, oldest first — from the v8 ink-dominant exploration, through the summit-mark introduction, the typography blends, and the visionary detour, to the v10 alternate that v11 replaced. Good cards are iterated, not guessed.
v8 - First full set
- The earliest complete front-and-back exploration.
- Set the ink-and-paper tone the later cards refined.
v9 - Summit mark arrives
- Introduces the circular summit seal and QR pairing.
- The seal survived every direction since.
Typography blends
- Two side-by-side iterations moving the card fonts toward the ones the website actually uses.
- Small differences, tested honestly - blend A keeps the heavier display face, blend B matches the site's lighter weight.
Visionary detour
- Paper-led direction with the seal front and center.
- Titled "Founder · Visionary" - the framing v11 walked back to "Founder · Engineer".
v10 - Alternate direction
- More ink-dominant and experimental than the current card.
- Passed over for the paper-led variant that became v11.
