WHAT THEY SAY

The people I shipped work with.

Bryan Butvidas, Director of Marketing

I don't think I can really put into words how good Janco is. Working with him hasn't just been a pleasure, it's been a learning experience for me. Most designers pay attention to detail. Janco pays attention to how the details work, how they interact, and how they all come together. That's the difference.

His UI and UX work is on another level. He doesn't just make things look good, he makes them make sense. The kind of design where you don't even notice how much thought went into it because it just works the way you'd expect it to.

As a creative director he's honestly on a different level. He can take a vague, half-formed idea and turn it into something people actually remember. If you get the chance to work with him, take it. You'll gain a unicorn of an asset, and if you're lucky, a good friend.

  • “Janco is a highly skilled and reliable designer who consistently delivers excellent results. He brings great energy to the team, excels at fostering collaboration, and ensures everyone is aligned. His strategic thinking and problem-solving abilities are standout traits, making him a valuable and passionate team player who always goes the extra mile.”

  • "I worked with Janco during my time as Director of Demand Generation at impact.com, where he led multiple branding initiatives, including rebrands and acquisitions, aligning our visual identity with company growth. He also managed two website redesigns, merging aesthetics with functionality, and standardized our content and ads, enhancing consistency and campaign effectiveness."

  • “Janco is a legend. Over nearly seven years, I saw him consistently deliver outstanding work under tight deadlines while evolving into a strong team leader. He skillfully balanced mentoring and hands-on involvement, all while driving our brand through major changes. Beyond his talent, Janco is a great person and a pleasure to work with—highly recommended”

  • “I enjoyed working with Janco on several design projects at impact.com. As a top designer, he was respected for creating a strong visual identity. Most memorable was our work on product-forward marketing videos, where his blend of animation and demo footage brought our platform to life. Janco was a great partner from concept to execution, and I’d love to collaborate again.”
