Ink Umbrella is a small visual communications studio that delivers top-quality design — from strategy and innovation to service and expertise — that rivals larger agencies without the overhead fees.

We partner with small businesses, associations, non-profits, institutions, corporations, and startups to visually communicate messages. Whether acting as an extension of a larger client team or collaborating one-on-one, we build brands with a full suite of design services coupled with seamless project management to deliver on-time, on-budget solutions that are consistently met with acclaim.

As principal designer of Ink Umbrella, Jane Tomlinson combines creative talent with high-quality strategic solutions. With over two decades of experience, her background in communication and project management combine with graphic design expertise to produce effective and functional visual solutions that will elevate your brand and messaging.

When not in her design studio located in a northshore Chicago suburb of Wilmette, Jane love spending time with her family and friends at Gillson Beach, cheering on her three kids from the sidelines of their sports and activities, taking long walks with her husband & their golden retriever, and supporting the community by volunteering her design skills on various boards and committees.
