Hello, I'm Jane—a blend of dreamer, storyteller, and visionary Art Director, dedicated to the craft of transforming visions into visual narratives.

My life's work bridges the realms of imagination and visual storytelling, charting a course from a curious child with a vivid imagination, captivated by the world through the lens of a blue Fisher-Price camera, to an Art Director crafting narratives that resonate on a profound level. This journey has been more than a career—it's been a commitment to the transformative power of visual narratives, a belief that a single image can stir emotions, forge connections, and articulate stories that words alone might never fully capture.

It all began with a box of crayons, a blank canvas, and an unbridled curiosity. This early exploration was more than child's play -- it was the foundation of a lifelong pursuit to unlock the boundless potential of creativity and storytelling. My path wound through the dynamic environments of Turner Broadcasting and the creative heartlands of Hallmark Cards, each experience embedding in me the vital importance of capturing moments that draw the eye, touch the heart, and linger in the mind.

The digital realms of Green River Preserve deepened my appreciation for the narrative's power to unite communities. Launching my company, Jane & Oliver, was a defining leap, blending creativity with strategic acumen to champion unique brand stories in a bustling marketplace.

Photography and art have always been magical tools for storytelling for me. From my early days as a child photographer to delving into the narratives behind the scenes as a model, I've been captivated by the endless stories we can tell through the lens. This duality of experience, both in front of and behind the camera, has enriched my narrative craft, teaching me to weave tales that are felt as much as they are seen.

Through roles at Rowdy Mermaid, Mountain Studies Institute, and Hawthorne Advertising, my mission has crystallized: to craft visual tales that elevate the mundane to the extraordinary. Coaching others to uncover and articulate their own stories has been as rewarding as narrating my own, reinforcing my dedication to the art of visual storytelling.

My mission endures—to tell stories that connect, inspire, and transform. From a child with a camera to an Art Director with a vision, my journey affirms that every moment, every brand, every individual harbors a narrative waiting to be unveiled.

I invite you on this journey of discovery, creativity, and connection. Whether you aim to animate your brand's story, launch a compelling marketing campaign, or seek inspiration for a new project, I am here to collaborate, create, and transform visions into impactful realities.

Let's embark on this storytelling adventure together. In a world awash with images, let's create narratives that stand out, remind us of our shared humanity, and showcase the power of visual storytelling.

Together, let's transform the ordinary into a tapestry of extraordinary narratives. Every moment holds a story waiting to be told, and I'm here to help you narrate yours. Let's create something magical.
