THE BALANCE working for clients while running a job-board
FOCUS MATTERS only do what you do best
WHAT WE DO User Experience Design & Custom Development
THE TAKE AWAYS what we learned
MAKE SURE YOUR TEAM IS HAPPY happy people perform better
PROVIDE THE BEST SERVICE EVER your clients will refer you
to others
LET LIMITATIONS GUIDE YOU constraints drive innovation and force focus
AN IDEA BY ITSELF IS WORTH NOTHING it’s the team
that executes that makes the difference
FALL IN LOVE WITH A PROBLEM everything else will follow
Thank you - @karinchristen
People who are passionate about solving a problem, are the
ones who eventually find each other and make it happen. grazie - @karinchristen
