Working with Kristen is a dream! Like most entrepreneurs, I’m protective of my brand and our voice. From the first conversation, Kristen listened and then gave us that brand voice back with more bounty than we could have imagined. I couldn’t imagine not having her (and her fierce talent) on the team.
