Q & A

I love to work with clients who want to push the envelope – clients who view maintaining the status quo as a failure. My favorite clients get as excited as I do about piloting something new.

Nerdy in the best way.

The Kindle app. This horrifies most book lovers, but I love to read on my phone! That way I always have a book on me.
