Janet Lackey Design is Moving

We’re moving! My husband and I (and the dog!) are moving from St. Louis to Portland, Oregon on June 1st, 2009. We’re stoked! St. Louis has been wonderful but we have nothing tying us here. When we visited Portland last fall, it felt like a great fit for us.

I am still going to be operating my graphic & interactive media design business full-time from Portland. Last month I sent a letter to my local clients informing them of the news. Although 99% of the communication I have with clients is via telephone or e-mail as is, I recognize the value in working with someone local. So I feel elated that so many of my clients specifically wrote me to tell me they still intend to work with me from Portland. I’m excited to continue working with them in any capacity… I have met some really inspiring people in St. Louis!

I do have local clients I’ve never met. And about half of my clients are not near St. Louis at all. The internet’s great that way.

I’m currently strategizing how to best dive into advertising my services as a Portland web designer. This blog’s a first step :).

My husband and I set up a modest blog to chronicle our move and what will follow at http://www.findinportland.com.
