"My answer depends on the project. I have passion projects that I enjoy, and I like to do these on my own or with an assistant who understands my style and approach. Those passion projects include working with designers and small business owners on displays and storefronts. When I work with a small business owner, it is a more personal approach, and I like the one-on-one intimacy. When working on larger scale projects such as commercial designs or hotel remodels, I prefer to work with other talented designers. I learn so much from others' expertise, and it also disperses the pressure when it comes to decision making or meeting tight deadlines. For me, the best part of being a Design Consultant is is that no day looks the same, and there are so many ways that I can use my gifts and abilities while also growing and learning from others."
