Janet Guertin

Caffeine Consumer, Creator of Quality Designs, and Curious Collaborator

For the past 20+ years, I’ve worked as a project manager and graphic designer in the non profit, marketing and event planning arenas. My clients are diverse and range from healthcare, small business, education and medical research, to retail and weddings.

Being both a designer and maker I often employ my hand skills to my branding and corporate work and my design aesthetic to my bookbinding projects. I enjoy collaborating with my clients to bring new ideas to life on the web and in print.

My work has been featured in magazines such as Uppercase, Where Women Create, Graphic Design USA and in the Graphis Poster Annual 2015. Additionally, my work is held in private collections and in the Atkins Library North Carolina Artist Collection at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.

A summary of my professional experience follows below. Full resumé and references available upon request.
