Recently, I watched an episode of Kitchen Nightmares with two restaurant owners who appeared to be off their rockers. It ended up being the first show that Chef Ramsey walked away from, after realizing the owners were just too difficult to work with.

New clients mean new projects plus added revenue and profit. However, businesses and agencies alike often focus too much effort on […]
Let’s face it; no one likes to be criticized. When managing a social media page (or multiple pages), you can expect to get your fair share of negativity and rude comments from fans. You may even have bad days where all you feel like doing is drop-kicking your computer and calling it quits. But before […]

With only a graphic design minor at UW-La Crosse, I was not getting a lot of exposure to the world of graphic design. My graphics classes just scratched the surface with everything involved in graphic design, and I […]
