Janis learned copywriting as a survival skill after the bombings of 9/11 nearly wiped out her restaurant and the tourism industry in her home, New Orleans, Louisiana. It worked!

Her many marketing clients include food service establishments, maritime companies, lifeboat sales & service, silk drapery boutiques, insurance companies, and lawn care specialists.

She’s an accomplished designer whose costumes have adorned numerous Mardi Gras kings and queens.

As the ‘parent’ of four cats and two huge dogs, Janis says, “If pet hair was a fashion accessory, I’d be on the cover of Vogue magazine.”
