Hi! I'm Jane. I'm a Twin Cities born, Los Angeles based graphic designer and illustrator who loves vibrant colors and playful designs. I currently create packaging and branding for kid's toys and games at Mattel, working with licensors including Nickelodeon, Disney, Universal, AMC, Netflix, Lucasfilm, and BBC. Before moving to the West Coast, I spent eight years living in New York where I ate the best bagels, complained about the L train, and earned my BFA in Graphic Design from Parsons The New School for Design (with a semester abroad at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London). I recently launched an online shop, Prints by Jane, where I sell art prints inspired by my love of mid-century architecture, retro signs, and my handsome cat, Clarence. When I'm not designing, you can catch me at the roller rink practicing my "scissors", or searching antique shops for 1960's Space Age objects to add to my collection.
