The Conversation
In this conversation, Dana and I talk about her life as an artist, and what lessons she drew from that experience that have helped her in her life as an entrepreneur. We also talk about her focus on creating new means of visual expression through her startup endeavors at MojiLaLa and now Leo AR.
We go on to discuss her work at Leo AR and how users are creating and sharing their real-world interactions with virtual, and often animated, objects. Leo AR is basically putting a fun-filled, AR-based green-screen into the hands of thousands of creators.
