  • Makaela Pena

    Hi!! My name is Makaela I’m here to help you out, make your Journo experience the best possible and answer any questions you may have! I am an Elementary School Teacher who is finding the balance between two of my favourite things: laughing with my students and traveling the world! I’m a sucker for spending time with my family and friends, chillaxing with a good book and sailing the seas with my love, Dane.

  • Ann Sokal

    Chief Of Design

    Hello! My name is Ann and I head up the creative here at Journo as Chief of Design. I have a history in fine art and graphic design and have been working in the industry for close to 10 years now! When Dane approached me to work on Journo I jumped at the chance to be a part of what I believe is a app that can improve and inspire lives. Mine included. My passions include making things of all kinds, cute animals, good friends and food.

WHAT DOES YOUR PERFECT DAY LOOK LIKE?

  • DANE

    Sunrise with a pipin’ cup of joe. Bit of exercise. Work. Guitar and vino with Mak & friends. Bit of reading. Hit the sack.

  • MAKAELA

    A big cup of red rose tea, a good podcast and some kind of hands on project like planting tomatoes or making felt finger puppets.
