It's brilliant to have a writer with such attention to detail and follow-through! Looking forward to working with you again.

Content that Gets People Thinking

Welcome to the studio of writer and creative generalist, Janet Martin. I make web content and other things.

Currently, I write educational content for non-profit, research, and educational institutions. I'm also exploring design and illustration.

A Little More About Me

My philosophy? We stripped the personality out of web content to make it more "readable". Web content can be interesting and still be easy to read.

My experience. For the past 10 years I’ve worked in communications both as a freelancer and fulltime employee.

My training. I've studied communications with UBC, Emily Carr University, UIE, and the Nielsen Norman Group. I also have a BSc.

My learning. Recently I've become interested in how groups like universities and museums use the Web to share research.
