Executive Producer, ET Canada
I've had the privilege of working alongside Jan Werthwein for over 17 years at Entertainment Tonight Canada, and I can say without hesitation that he is one of the most artistically brilliant people I know. His passion for design is unparalleled, and his ability to bring motion graphics to life with effortless flow is nothing short of magic.
Jan started out as an editor, like myself, but his eye for design and deep creative instincts quickly propelled him into graphics and eventually into the role of Art Director, where he shaped the entire visual identity of the show. Whether it was crafting stunning broadcast packages, designing show branding, or conceptualizing bold new ideas, Jan did it all with an incredible attention to detail and an intuitive understanding of what makes a design not just look great, but feel great.
For nearly a decade, we collaborated on the show’s opens and teases, and those were some of the most creatively fulfilling moments of my career. Jan’s ability to take a concept and elevate it beyond expectations was something I always admired. And beyond his immense talent, he’s simply one of the best people you could ever work with - hilarious, kind, and completely free of ego. In an industry that can often be stressful, Jan was a grounding force and a true team player.
Jan is simply someone who lives and breathes creativity. He’s a rare blend of artistic genius, technical expertise, and just an all-around great human being.
If you ever have the chance to work with Jan, take it. You won’t find a more talented, dedicated, and genuinely awesome person to collaborate with.
