On the job at WCBD TV2 in Mount Pleasant, SC.
Forever Fun 'n Sun… my motto.
Although I strive for excellence i everything I do, I've learned to have fun while doing it.
After college, I went into interior design as a career. I achieved professional membership in A.S.I.D. (American Society of Interior Designers). Interior design projects included corporate offices, banks, nursing homes, hospital offices, a dormitory, retail stores and signing. I earned an interior design degree and an architectural technology degree.
After working as an interior designer for some time, I decided to shift my goals into a different direction and started my own graphic design business. I also worked for an advertising agency and a printing company.
In 1998, we moved from Chicago to Madison, GA. I continued running my business, Jan Marvin Graphic Design. I also worked at Denon Digital doing color separations for screen printing on cd's for companies such as Disney, Arista Records, Dreamcast Sega and Earthlink. In 2004, I became a copy editor/page designer at The Eatonton Messenger/Lake Oconee News. In 2006, I helped launch a weekly newspaper in Watkinsville, GA, The Oconee Leader. I also was the Creative Director of Edible Atlanta magazine. When we moved to Mount Pleasant, SC in 2007, I worked as a Creative Art Director at The Daniel Island News.
Recently, I created a documentary about filming a TV pilot called Butterflies Wake. I also produced and edited four short films for the Film Meets Fashion event that raised funds for the Make a Wish Foundation. I created short films with interviews at Charleston Fashion Week, The Sales Soiree to benefit PAR and The Family Circle Cup.
Presently, I work at WCBD TV 2 as a Production Tech running the cameras and audio during the newscasts. I also work part-time at The Daniel Island News. I create motion graphics, documentaries, short videos and video editing. Programs that I use on a regular basis are After Effects, Premier Pro, Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign.
My personal interests include photography, acrylic painting and hiking. I have volunteered in Production as a Technical Director at Seacoast Church and am a member of Southeastern Filmmakers.
I love going to the beach, going kayaking, crabbing and enjoying the beautiful Charleston, SC area.
