ABOUT the STUDIO

Led by founder and creative director Nancy Herrmann, Jane & Co. exists as a space where branding becomes both mirror and map—a form of authorship that helps clients express their vision, claim their value, and shape a business—and life—on their own terms.

This work was born from a desire to do things differently—to work more intimately, more intentionally and in partnership with founders at pivotal moments in their business. We help you create a brand that feels elevated, essential, and unmistakably yours.

If you’re ready to be seen, valued, and remembered for the work you truly do—you’re in the right place.

JANE & CO VALUES

BEAUTY as storytelling
INTEGRITY as alignment
CURIOSITY as compass
CREATIVITY as connection
SPACE as freedom

Hello, I’m Nancy

FOUNDER & CREATIVE DIRECTOR

Before launching Jane & Co Design and Branding, I spent more than two decades shaping global campaigns, visual identities, packaging, content, and experiences for brands like Michael Kors, bareMinerals, Alterna Haircare, and I.D. Magazine.

That chapter gave me a deep fluency in the language of image-making—and a front-row seat to how brand stories are told at scale. But over time, I felt called toward something more aligned, more intentional. A space where strategy and storytelling could be deeply personal. Where design could feel like alignment, not just output. Jane & Co. is that space: a studio where my editorial eye and creative direction meet one-to-one collaboration with founders who are ready to be fully seen.

  • From New York to Los Angeles to Virginia, I’ve worked across fashion, beauty and lifestyle brands, collaborating with global teams along the way. The years I spent as an editor and writer at I.D. Magazine, Architectural Digest and Wallpaper*, brought my love of design and storytelling into focus.

    Now, I bring all of it—art direction, editorial instinct, brand strategy—into high-touch partnerships with women-led businesses that are ready to step into what’s next.

  • Jane is my middle name—and a nod to one of my favorite bands. There’s a quiet constant with a little edge. 
It’s the name I chose to begin again. A way to honor where I come from, while making space for something new—personal, intentional, and expansive enough to hold the kind of work that’s yet to come.


    The “& Co.” is regard for the company I keep: the clients, collaborators, and creative peers who make this work rich with perspective and possibility.
