Janice Hanks

Principal, Designer

As founder and creative lead of Next Level Austin, Janice is intimately involved in every project.  She brings an innate design sensibility built on over 20 years in the industry.  Known for her contagious enthusiasm, passion for the unique, and intricate layering of color, shape, and texture, Janice playfully pushes her clients to explore outside their comfort zone. 

Our clients have described working with Janice as follows:

"Janice has been such a pleasure to work with- she picked up on my style immediately and can determine things I like before I even know I like them."

"Janice is a genius at color/light/texture and first-quality products but respects a budget as well. She listens to our ideas and takes our taste seriously, nudging us toward the adventuresome but keeping me out of trouble when I venture too far into whimsy. We wouldn't have considered launching this project without her."

"Janice's exceptional network of contractors and suppliers, her expertise with colors and materials, her thoughtful suggestions large and small, and her sense of humor made what is always a stressful experience manageable. We are absolutely thrilled with how everything turned out!"
