Hi, my name is Janie. I have a unique set of skills that make me stand out in the work force. I have creative abilities that allow me to excel in Visual Design and Art Direction. Combined with the technical skills required to be an excellent UI Designer. My experience includes the whole design process from ideation to execution across all customer platforms delivering results. I've always been interested in fashion, art and design, so Nordstrom has been a great fit for my career. 

While at Nordstrom I've had the opportunity designing for different departments within the company developing my skills as a strong designer. Through these experiences I've been able to work on the homepage, landing pages, emails, campaigns, lookbooks, ads, creative strategies, templates and the Loyalty Program.

During my campaign work experience I provided art direction developing creative strategy decks, the foundation of each campaign at Nordstrom. In addition to working on the creative team at Nordstrom, I have also worked as a visual designer collaborating with UX. In this role I made intrinsic decisions for new site development that has helped Nordstrom succeed. Most recently I was promoted to Principal designer for Nordstrom’s Loyalty Program.

In my personal life, I enjoy traveling, painting, running, and exploring various eateries in the greater Seattle area. On those weekends not exploring you can usually find me at home with the loves of my life... my son, dogs, and husband!
