Testimonials

Stan Kasten
President & CEO, Los Angeles Dodgers; Board Member, Canopy Team

“Janet and her team have done a tremendous job leading the improvement projects at Dodger Stadium over the last eleven years, embracing every nuanced challenge and incorporating Dodger history at every turn. I know that Canopy Team members approach every one of their projects with the same level of dedication and enthusiasm and it’s been a pleasure to watch the company’s incredible growth over the last two years.”.

Ronnie Younts
Founder, Younts Design Inc.

“In my opinion, the thing that makes Canopy Team’s projects so successful and memorable is that they believe that these buildings have their own history and their own soul, that they need to be celebrated in their own way, separate from the teams that play there."

Greg Baroni
CEO and Managing Partner, Attain Sports

“The Canopy Team’s vision and dedication to our projects have been instrumental in shaping and implementing both short- and long-term improvements. Their collaborative approach has strengthened our efforts, and we’re grateful to have them as a valued extension of Team Attain!"

Ken Babby
Owner & CEO, Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp Baseball Club

“I have been a champion of Janet Marie Smith’s work for many years now and it has been a pleasure collaborating with her and Canopy Team on the long-term vision for 121 Financial Ballpark in Jacksonville. Their expertise in keeping the project on track while managing both the design and budget has been invaluable for the project.”

Karen Aumen
Owner, Aumen Asner

"Working with Janet Marie over the years, it’s evident that her expertise and attention to detail in stadium design are exceptional. Her ability to bring creative visions to life while ensuring every element enhances the fan's overall experience is inspiring. Partnering with her and her team has been both rewarding and enjoyable, regardless of the project's scope or timeline – most recently on the Pittsburgh Pirates Club Level and Dodger Stadium Clubhouse renovations. The professionalism and passion she brings to each project are unmatched!"

Ilana Kloss
CEO of Billie Jean King Enterprises

“I could not be happier to see Canopy succeed and highlight the important perspective that women and women-led companies bring to the professional sports space. With Janet and Fran’s leadership, Canopy will help its clients reach their maximum potential.”
