About

I am tough, but I am sympathetic. I am resilient, but I may lose my composure. I am invincible, but sometimes I have my weaknesses.

Hi! My name is Janena, but because nobody can pronounce it correctly I go by Nena. I was born in a very small town located in Wisconsin and grew up in another tiny town, also located in Wisconsin. I come from the typical family of two parents and one other sibling, with me being the oldest. My sister and I are both graphic designers, or trying to be graphic designers, and she also owns hourbyhour.org. Both of us have been designing websites for a really long time, it’s actually quite sad how long we have been on the internet. I admit that I am a total 100% nerd. I say that with pride (for the most part).

My life has been nothing but a full blown soap opera for as long as I can remember and I am pretty sure I have been to hell and back a few more times then I care to! It would have been a great daytime television movie. Luckily, the soap opera stage seems to have died down and I am quite content with how life is… sort of.

I graduated with my Assoc. of Science – Graphic Design degree in May 2010 and am now on the hunt for a real job. My current job is one of those jobs that a typical college student would have. Not exactly “ideal” especially since in 6 months I am going to be paying back loans. Ugh. Oh well, I am trying really hard to find that new job and even if it means moving a billion miles away, I will suck it up and do it.

I am a huge animal lover. I am pretty sure my life would not be complete with out one furry critter in my heart. Right now, I have a cat. His name is Adobe and I rescued him Oct 2008 from the local Humane Society. He’s pretty much the best kitty ever… except when he wakes me up at 5am because he thinks its breakfast time, or when he decides that my hair ties are his and loses them all. I should invest in the hairtie business…
