Hi, I’m Janie. I’m an illustrator and designer based in Chicago.

I have worked in entertainment as a movie poster designer (this poster is probably my biggest win there, I made the original concept), and now I freelance as an illustrator. As a dedicated Weird Little Guy specialist, my work is character-driven, expressive, and occasionally subversive (🤘)

I am a true mixed-media artist, with all of my illustrations starting on my drafting table using inks and watercolors, and ending in Photoshop where I pull it all together into a final design.

Alongside client work, I make and share my personal drawings regularly.
I share my work at conventions around the U.S. and I run an online store selling prints of my work.

I also teach workshops in Chicago about creativity and authentic self-expression through visual art.

Outside of work, I do jiu jitsu, take long walks, and draw, draw, draw…
