Hello, I'm Janice.
I have been a graphic designer for more than 20 years. After 20 years in the advertising industry I decided to go back to school and get my Master’s degree in Media Innovation. I knew this would force me out of my comfort zone as a designer. Let’s face it, a lot has changed in the past 20+ years. To put things in perspective, smart phones didn’t exist nor did social media when I started my career back in the mid 90s.
During my Master’s journey, I decided to dive into immersive technologies. Little did I know this was going to take me down a new path during a substantial shift in our art history and the way we experience it.
Now let’s talk about neon. My love, passion and appreciation for neon has always been there. What's not to love! I live in Nevada where the state element is neon! Even though it’s our state element, the neon is, unfortunately, disappearing. I partnered with the Nevada Neon Project in an effort to bring their collection of signs back to life digitally. We created a neon museum in virtual reality and the rest is history. You can read about my project and journey here.
My hope is to continue to digitally preserve our neon's history as well as create more for our digital world. This gives me the opportunity to bring together our past into the present.
