Hello! As a creative professional web developer, designer, illustrator, and motion artist in the NYC metro area, I feel lucky to do what I love with a unique blend of design and code. I find the fast-paced realm of web technologies exciting and enjoy learning new tools and techniques. When not working, I paint, read, hike, travel, and spend precious moments with my wonderful family.

I've had the pleasure of working with Janet on multiple platforms - including the launches of a new website and podcast. She's a pleasure to work with and has brought real creativity and innovation to the table. Janet brings genuine enthusiasm to our collaborations and has encouraged me to look beyond the initial scope of our projects and shared new thinking to improve our business in an increasingly digital world. Her process is cooperative which has lead to mutual inspiration, the ability to think bigger, to think NEW. Her advice has been spot on - proven in dramatic increase of web traffic to our site, positive customer feedback and most importantly increased sales. Importantly she is a stickler for staying on a timeline and has delivered every project on time and on budget!

We have been working with Janet Atkinson for over five years, principally to design and build out several websites. She has a thorough understanding of the technical requirements necessary to present and maintain a safe and easy to navigate web presence. Plus her focus on the importance of brand consistency has resulted in us using her to design new logos, presentations and pitch documents for investors and clients. We constantly get high praise for the professionalism of the materials she designs for us. I highly recommend Janet as a graphic design professional who is responsive, easy to work with and highly skilled.
Janet is a talented designer who is a pleasure to work with. Her keen eye for the aesthetics of design elements, coupled with her understanding of the client's messaging and needs makes for an incredibly successful engagement. We have hired Janet for myriad projects based on her ability to partner with us to take a project from the brainstorming/vision stage to its full completion. I highly recommend working with Janet!

We cannot thank you enough for the phenomenal work you have done for us from start to finish!! We got so many great compliments about the website... Most important was your willingness and interest in making us look as good as possible every step of the way.
Atkinson is not only a talented designer, but extremely skillful in taking complicated projects, simplifying and executing them professionally.
