What is the most valuable resource you provide to our members, and what does an average day look like?
Collaborative & Trustworthy: I incorporate the member’s ideas and thoughts into the design. All member input is valuable during the process. No matter how bizarre their ideas get, I find a middle ground. Showing the member their thoughts were valued on delivery builds trust and strengthens our relationship.
Average Day: Wake up, Kill it at work, Lunch, More killing it at work, Log off, Kids sports, Dinner, Sleep.
