Janae shares that she seeks ideas from different sources depending on the project and the client's needs. She says she completes her best work when she puts her ideas down on paper, even if she knows they won’t be anywhere near her final result. She encourages listeners that art is not about getting it perfect, but being brave enough to show your ideas so that they can evolve into a fantastic end result. Janae wants to know where YOU draw your inspiration. Email her at
