Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Absolutely not! When building a business there’s so many details involved and so much to learn that you take the lessons learned to help you navigate in becoming better and setting a really good foundational model. One of the obstacles I’ve experienced is doing business in the midst of COVID. My business is so hands on and of course, working in client’s home so developing tools that can still allow the client to feel connected to us bringing their vision to life.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
