“My favorite part of my job is revealing the strategy and design concepts to my clients after going through a discovery process,” said Thompson. “They light up when they can envision themselves being able to confidently put words and visuals to the business they have poured their heart and soul into. Brand and website strategy is not just about communicating to customers. It’s resonating with them on a deeper level through heartfelt messaging, personality and visuals to make them raving fans.”

It’s stretched and challenged me, keeping me on my toes. I’m honored to do this job, which I still love after 16+ years.” Thompson said.
