Starting up a new business can be daunting but I couldn’t have asked for a better collaborator early on than Jane Jardine. I knew that great packaging and marketing would be key to my business success and in Jane I found both a sage advisor and a terrific designer. From the get-go Jane ‘got it’; she intuitively understood exactly what my product was about, worked closely with me every step of the way and created a logo and packaging that was better than I could ever have imagined. Never dismissive of my thoughts and always able to gently guide me, Jane’s wealth of experience, business contacts and marketing expertise has been invaluable to getting my product off the ground. I eagerly look forward to our continued collaboration as my product range grows further.

Having never done anything like creating a logo/ brand before – Jane was brilliant in taking my ‘liked ideas’ from Pinterest and presenting me with options based on what I liked. Once we narrowed it down to a particular design, the process of creating a brand tool kit was effortless and really fun to see it become reality. I have had so many compliments on The Leeds Deli branding and can’t wait to see what more we do with it.
— Nick Colley, Founder of The Leeds Deli
I have been working closely with Jane for a few years now and love how she gets just as excited as I do about the next colour palette and design idea! Jane has always interpreted my not always clear ideas into reality and makes really great recommendations and suggestions to enhance my original visions! It is always a pleasure to start a new project with Jane.
— Tory Fox-Hill, Founder of Fox & Moon
Jane brought the show’s logo and design to life so perfectly that I am constantly asked about it! She was great to work with - focussed and creative, and she quickly grasped the concept of the show. All I really gave her was some Pinterest images, and she ran with it and nailed it first time. The designs are elegant and cool, and they’re also easily adaptable, which was an important part of the brief. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome.
