Q & A

Don't be afraid to fail. Fail spectacularly. It’s what you do next that matters most.

Bliss colleagues are all smart, kind, and curious. There’s a steadfast commitment to our teams and to our clients. And we like to have fun while we're doing it!

I love to cook and bake – spending time in the kitchen provides me with a different kind of creative outlet. I also love to travel and explore, and I’m always dreaming about my next trip.

I'm most proud of the teams I’ve been a part of or helped build. Doing what we do, there’s always a new challenge or success. But, it’s the people I have the privilege of going on the journey with who make it all worthwhile.
