Janalyn Hubbell, senior Creative director
"Inventive"

As our Senior Creative Director, Janalyn Hubbell is both a disciplined designer and a fine artist and is known at ClearEdge as inventive. After graduating with a BFA in drawing and painting from the Art Academy of Cincinnati, she leveraged that into award-winning professional experience in graphic design, branding and qualitative design research.

During her career, Janalyn has worked in art museums as well as advertising, design and research firms—for Fortune 500 accounts in industries ranging from consumer products and entertainment to healthcare, finance and technology. Her work has been published in PRINT magazine's Regional Design Annual and Communication Arts 2010 Graphic Design Annual.

In 2009, she left the corporate world and took her 11-year-old home-spun freelance design business—small but mighty—and turned it into a full-time gig, integrating her experience in graphic design and qualitative market research. For ClearEdge clients, Janalyn is busy designing everything from brand campaigns to ad campaigns, target account programs and more.

In 2010 Janalyn co-founded the design non-profit, Design Makes Change, a volunteer group of designers, artists, and educators living and working in Chicago whose mission is to partner with organizations, community leaders, businesses, and education bodies to organize and support a series of annual design competitions to address environmental, social, and infrastructural issues in Chicago.
