What people have said

“Janine’s combination of skills, expertise, good judgment and inherent ability to connect with a wide range of people were clearly exhibited in smaller events and as part of an international program. I watched as she created a number of strategic step wise projects, identify potential stakeholders and develop meaningful relationships with numerous organisations within what is traditionally known to be a very challenging sector”

Julie Baikie

“Janine’s ability to manage the breadth of the project that involved numerous moving parts was a great asset to the team. Her communication skills and quality design solutions coupled with her attention to detail enabled a smooth process and outcomes that have exceeded expectations.”

Angela Stefanoff

Creative Director ・ Goldi

“Janine artfully blends her extensive and highly developed creative capabilities with pragmatic practices, leading to well formed planning and decision-making processes. Janine has excellent practices in using project management and client management processes and technologies to ensure projects are appropriately budgeted and resourced.”

Marina James

Founder ・ Creating Well

“We contracted Janine for the entire creative process including logo design and rebranding, office design, colour selection and all physical asset selection. We in fact entrusted Janine, not only to the creative process but also to act as project manager to co-ordinate all service providers so that we had as little disruption to our ongoing accounting business as possible.
Janine’s skills and professionalism enabled us to achieve results well above our expectations and within budget. She showed to us that she has an excellent working knowledge of the planning and implementation process and kept myself and my fellow Director, and when necessary our staff, updated and informed in a timely manner. She was exceptional in her creative design.”
