“Good design makes you feel good even if you don’t know why.”
I create meaningful, virtual experiences with an approach grounded in a passion for storytelling. As both a designer and a writer, I focus on both the visual presentation and the written narrative. I help my clients to distill what makes them unique and to embrace it.
All of my work is custom, so that a site doesn’t feel templated, matches a company’s branding, and expresses depth, personality and professionalism.")

Aside from serene peace, her guided walks in Ohio can also offer stress and anxiety reduction, blood pressure reduction and a boost in concentration and memory.

Janet’s design aesthetic is based on the belief that the unique qualities of each site, house, and client inform the architectural response to a particular design problem. Her residential designs express the vocabulary of the local California architecture and lifestyle through a modern lens and she believes that a successful project blends functional programmatic needs and the complex details of modern life to create a beautiful, memorable home suited to the climate, landscape, and culture of contemporary California.
Her website, then, needed to reflect this same sense of place, using the vocabulary of design, form and function and simple elegance. Her project portfolio is front and center, displaying full-screen, high-resolution imagery to invite the site visitors into the spaces and really get a sense for her style.")
