Janell Nelson
More than just Design.
"I believe in the power of Art as a viable force that can heal, change and fuel people and communities alike. The EAC pivots right into that."
Consultant, Manager, Graphic Designer.
Janell is a supportive force behind the scenes of many non-profits and change-makers nationwide.
Visual consultant, creative project manager and thought-partner, she also provides strategic graphic design solutions for a small number of clients on a rotating basis. Founding her boutique creative firm JNJ Creative with her partner Joe Nelson, Janell has leveraged her many years of collaborating and designing content with top leaders in the educational publishing industry to now serve public and community focused entities.
Specializing in graphic design and visual project management, Janell leads projects with clarity and transparency. With a penchant for the whimsy and a passion for positivity, she enjoys working with individuals and entities who “do the unexpected” and/or help underserved communities. With a BFA in graphic design and a minor in fine arts (printmaking, photography), she started her graphic design career in the educational publishing industry and spent over 15 years in that niche, developing skills beyond design/page layout to image research, art buying, copywriting, print production and department management. In May of 2017, she ended her tenure as a design director to pursue more experiential and philanthropic leaning avenues.
Projects under her belt span from community events, annual reports, marketing campaigns/adverts, print and digital books, logos, posters, T-shirts (all of the EAC visuals—including this site), and consultation sessions.
In general, Janell cultivates passion projects that "put a little more good into the world".
