Janna Thompson-Chordas

Job Titles:
  • Graphic Designer
Janna's been pushing pixels for eons now. Having started when press type was at the height of its fancy, she appreciates hand-made objects and crafted art. With skills that include mastering Photoshop, layout and vector-borne disease, she's the unstoppable force known as the dizzy art chic at Burgie MediaFusion. If she can't Photoshop it out, you should reshoot. But don't move too quickly, and make steady eye contact. She scares easily. Janna has served in the creative field in various positions, enjoying the evolving art of pixel pushing. She's worked in a team atmosphere ranging from design for web, mobile and digital, to identity and branding and even print. She's served in the design process from concepting and design, to layout and production. She's been responsible for large clients on the Columbus scene, so understanding the brand identity comes easily. But her heart is drawn to the underdog, the artist and the cause worth supporting. When not bringing projects to fruition for Burgie MediaFusion, Janna teaches Design for Social Impact and Responsibility for Ohio Dominican. She serves two girls scout troops, countless sports and academic activities, and her family's quest to live in a connected, inquisitive and loving atmosphere.
