Hello, I'm Janelle Watzke, a graphic designer, art director, and marketing manager with a knack for creative problem-solving. I'm a true West Coast native, born and raised on the coast of Huntington Beach, California.
My career began at the largest real estate brokerage in Southern California, First Team Real Estate, an affiliate of Christie's International Real Estate. There, I nurtured my marketing and design skills, gaining invaluable experience, and cultivating a passion for the world of luxury real estate, which ultimately led me to Pacific Sotheby's International Realty (formerly known as HÔM).
In pursuit of personal and professional growth, I made a bold move to Dallas, Texas in 2018, expanding my expertise in both commercial and residential real estate.
By 2019, my entrepreneurial spirit was unstoppable, driving me to establish my freelance graphic design business. This gave me the freedom to work with clients from diverse sectors across the nation. And just recently, in 2023, I proudly launched One-Story Studio, a digital template shop designed exclusively for real estate agents who are looking for DIY marketing solutions.
With over a decade of experience in both corporate and freelance settings, I've explored virtually every facet of design, wearing many hats and taking on various roles. This journey has been fueled by both my natural curiosity and the demands of the job. My signature is all about an elegant design approach, delivering smart, clean visual solutions that clients can rely on. I've navigated the worlds of corporate giants and nimble startups, shaping me into the versatile creative professional I am today.
I'm an extremely dedicated individual, committed to giving my all or stepping aside entirely. My mind is always in a state of creation, continually generating fresh ideas and concepts. When I'm not immersed in front of the computer, you'll often find me exploring the city or training my new puppy. And yes, I’ll take my wine chilled and my music loud. Please don't hesitate to reach out and say hello!
