Owner of Couch Potato Designs
I'm Ja'Tara, the heart behind CPD, and my mission is to make life easier (and a whole lot more fun) for creatives and small business owners.
What started as quirky t-shirt designs has evolved into a space where I share digital tools to help you work smarter, not harder. From templates that save you hours to resources that inspire confidence, Couch Potato Designs is here to give you everything you need to bring your vision to life—without the stress.
I believe in spreading kindness, making things easy, and adding a little extra joy to your everyday.
Because let’s face it, life’s too short to overcomplicate things! Whether you’re a designer, a dreamer, or just someone chasing a creative spark, I’m here to cheer you on with products that support your journey.
How CPD Started
Couch Potato Designs is more than just a business name—it’s a piece of my story. My fiancé and I have always affectionately called each other "Spud." We’re homebodies at heart, big couch potatoes who cherish the simple joy of being together. When it came time to name my business, it just clicked—it had to be a reflection of us. The mascots? They’re us, of course! But the name goes deeper.
When I met my fiancé, he taught me so much about prioritizing mental health, rest, and kindness. His emphasis on making life easier, spreading love, and focusing on suicide prevention inspired me in profound ways. I realized I wanted to take the same values we show each other every day and share them with the world.
Through my work, I strive to make life easier for graphic designers, entrepreneurs, and business owners. Whether it’s templates, graphics packs, or resources, I pour my knowledge into creating tools that truly help people. At first, when I was just making shirt designs, something felt missing—I wanted to give more. Now, every product I create feels like an extension of my purpose: to give back, share what I know, and make life a little brighter and easier for others. 🌟
