With global warming, cybercrime, and human rights issues on the rise, Monash University created 17 dystopian products that will exist if nothing changes.

Personal Work
I like to draw and illustrate. This is a collection of doodles - sometimes for projects, mostly for fun.
Hey, I’m Janice. I’m an art director currently working in Europe (or anywhere in the world with a humane timezone).
I’ve worked at agencies like VML and SPECIAL and freelanced at a range of others. In 2023, I joined We are Pi and moved to Amsterdam. Some career highlights include airing a hyponsis film on broadcast TV, designing a gallery of dystopian products and running a campaign subsequently banned in China.
As a mentor, I’ve also guided creatives through the Aunties Program and was named AWARD School Tutor of the Year in 2022.
I’m my off time, I like to draw, hike and compost (soft spot for worms and sniffing other people’s green waste).
For creative projects or inquiries, say hello.
