Welcome To Shattered Elegance!

Step into my world. Shattered Elegance is the home of Jarrod Vandenberg; freelance graphic designer, artist and creative. This online shop, portfolio showcase and resource hub is intended to be a place not only for me to flex my creative, but for all creatives. I'm a firm believer in Community Over Competition; there's more than enough for all of us. I'm always adding more and updating, so please visit often and come back.

As for now and with alacrity I ask you, take a step inside...You won't believe your eyes. There's countless things to see, endless possibilities, fantasies and where conviviality abounds. I welcome you to my corner of the internet; expect the unexpected.

My Mama Just Passed Away and I Need Help Everyone...

My sister set this up and I truly need it. This is the hardest message I've ever had to write. Sunday night on the 17th, my mama died. She had no life insurance. I counted on her SSI as the other half of our income. I recently did everything to raise her credit score so she could get a house in her name. I have nothing. I can't pay the $1936 rent and I can't even pay the approximately $650 to have my mama cremated. I need help everyone. I don't ask for help easily or often, but please. Pride be damned, I truly need help. One month of rent and getting my mama cremated would enable me to get back on my feet and work toward becoming a productive member of society and figure out what life is without my mama. I've never lived for me; I don't even know how.

I did everything right; I called 911, I started compressions, the EMT's and Paramedics went above and beyond and she didn't come back to me. I've lived my whole life for my mama.

Please. Anything would help. It's more than I had before. My Sister said some people people would rather use Venmo and mine's here. The GoFundMe is below and here.

I've never before and never will again, but I'm asking and begging...and asking those in the creative community to help one of their own.
