“Jana gets it. Sure, her skills as a videographer and editor reach far beyond technically mastering the arts, it’s her sensitivity to the highest aspirations of audio that make her videos so special. She makes the gear look great, unique, and most of all desirable! The allure is more than skin deep, because she thinks like an audiophile. She knows what makes us tick.”

— Steve Guttenberg, The Audiophiliac

“I’ve known Jana since she first entered the realms audio. I knew the day I met her she was destined to be a star. Why? Because she was fierce and smart and talented and willing to work harder than anyone else. The videos I made with her put my face into the world; now people approach me on the subway, “You made those videos with Jana Dagdagan – right?” I’ve watched Jana evolve into a sophisticated videographer/editor with a young, fresh, forward-thinking perspective . . . exactly what the audio world needs more of.”

— Herb Reichert, Stereophile

“Jana was instrumental in establishing and growing the Darko.Audio YouTube channel, not only through her considerable video editing skillset and her judicious use of advanced motion graphics but also through her sound communication ideas and YouTube strategy.

— John Darko, Darko.Audio

“Working with Jana is an absolute pleasure. She’s accommodating, understanding, and hard working, never satisfied until her client is satisfied. She consistently exceeds expectations, always willing to give and do more than what has been asked, knowing that she won’t be happy unless her client is happy. Beyond that, she’s always willing to openly share her own experience and expertise, making those around her better prepared and more comfortable in any situation. She’s humble. She communicates clearly and effectively. She’s enthusiastic and positive and enjoys solving problems. If there’s a criticism to be made, it’s that she too rarely gives herself the credit she deserves. She’s a perfectionist, but this usually benefits everyone around her. Working with her, and knowing her, is really a joy and an honor. Highly, enthusiastically recommended.”

“We work with Jana because she is passionate about helping us communicate our technologies to our customers. Her creative implementation of 3D animations has opened up a new world for us. We are now able to break down the complicated technologies that make up our cartridges. As a cartridge designer, it's fulfilling to see Ortofon's technologies -- technologies that I've spent years working on myself -- visualized in a manner that is both easy to understand and beautiful. It is fulfilling to work with someone who is just as excited as we are to make our products come to life!”

— Leif Johannsen, Ortofon

“When it came time to create the Twittering Machines YouTube channel, Jana was the only name that came to mind. For this ongoing work, I needed someone with the ability to create and develop a unique visual language with the skills and knowledge of the industry to make the process as effortless as possible. In my 40+ year professional life, I have met very few people who have the passion and dedication to quality that Jana exhibits each time she gets to work.”

— Michael Lavorgna, Twittering Machines

“Hiring Jana to create 3D videos for our new product line has been an overwhelmingly positive experience. She mapped out and managed the entire scope of the project (including the timeline, deliverables, and all the fine details of each video) in a well-organized and thoughtful manner, and maintained excellent commutation every step of the way. Jana excels with her ability to take ideas and bring them to life in an eye-catching and highly realistic 3D space. She did this for our new product line even before the first prototypes were built, and this was a game-changer for both our development and marketing efforts! When you combine Jana’s vision, creativity and determination with her equally impressive knowledge and passion of the high-end audio industry, you receive nothing short of the highest quality work that truly makes a statement. It has been incredibly rewarding to work with someone so talented and willing to go above and beyond to make sure you are genuinely happy with the finished product. I strongly recommend collaborating with Jana and am confident that she will exceed your expectations.”

“I have worked with photographers and videographers who are extremely competent. They can deliver any picture or effect I am looking for if I can tell them exactly what I need. But the problem is: I need to tell them exactly what I need. Working with Jana is a completely different process. On top of being a first class editor/videographer, she empathizes with audiophiles, possesses in-depth knowledge of the audio industry, and has a mindset that combines artistic and scientific thinking very effectively. Communicating and exchanging ideas with Jana is a joyful experience: I provide information and she comes back with messages, visualization, and priorities, and then she listens and explores options with an open mind. The deliverable is nothing short of perfect. I recommend her highly and without reservation.”

“The biggest benefit of working with Jana is her industry-specific knowledge. She's worked in this industry for years, which means she doesn't need me to tell her what to focus on, what different components do, and what my customers would like to see. She's willing to work with me through every step of the process — from planning the video and making critical pre-production choices, to making sure the video is published in the best way to maximize views. She's not afraid to tell me when she politely disagrees with my artistic choices, and provides alternative options for me to consider that still help me get my message across. For capturing the essence of the industry and the products I represent, I can’t imagine working with anyone else.”
