about me | Jane Lax Design

Design is in my DNA.

Creativity is in my genes.

Creativity and design have been the common strands defining my career. I've always looked for ways to incorporate my creative skills into my various roles, from designing ice buckets for laboratories, to finding ways to visually engage lawyers in client relationship management. My highly relevant experience, gained from a 21-year career in marketing, has provided a platform for success in Graphic Design.

Returning to full-time education in 2017 to study HND Graphic Design, provided the creative environment to hone my design talents, alongside my extensive commercial experience. This led to employment straight out of college with a top Birmingham design agency at the heart of Digbeth’s “Creative Quarter”.

Each of the building blocks of my career has added value to the creative, client-focused approach that I take with all my freelance work. My marketing, client relationship management and science background gives me a unique perspective on design. A love of experimentation and collaboration backed up by strong commercial understanding means I have more to offer your business than just inspirational design concepts.

DESIGN

Being creative has always been my passion and now I get to use this skill in my job I couldn't be happier. I have a HND in Graphic Design and gained experience working in a design agency before taking the step to go freelance. I love working with colour, image and typography and often use my own photography in my work.

MARKETING

I'm qualified with a postgraduate diploma in marketing and have 20+ years of product and professional services marketing experience. This means I understand that any design I create for you only works if it meets your commercial needs, just looking great is not enough.

CLIENT CARE

I've trained professionals on how to look after their clients and now I'm looking after my own. I understand the importance of putting myself in your shoes to know what's important to you. My aim is to deliver great design work, on time, on brief, that helps you achieve your business goals.

SCIENCE

I know...what's science got to do with it? It was always the diagrams that I loved most about science. I'd spend ages getting my bunsen burners and beakers just right. I still apply the same attention to detail and methodical approach to my design work and communicating with you so you'll always know where you stand and what you can expect from me.

Let's work together...
