Hello! My name is Janey Holm and I am a game producer, designer, and choreographer. I am drawn to projects that are playful and witty while also guiding the audience to greater questions about our world. I so enjoy working with all kinds of people, learning how to foster each individual within a team to collectively achieve a professional and accessible product. I value preparedness, cohesion, and clarity. I believe these three elements are essential to apply to both the process of creating a product and the product itself. So often art, especially games, can be exclusionary or intimidating. I like to think of the person that has little exposure to the medium and how I can make something that might not only interest them, but get them to stick around to the end and feel they have gained something.
