Other than that, I've published a book called Memphis Type History: Signs and Stories from Just Around the Corner and helped launch Studio688, a coworking space for creative entrepreneurs in Memphis, Tennessee. Oh, and I once walked across the stage to receive a Masters degree in French.
So I pretty much wear a beret like a boss. I’m currently finishing up
an MBA.
In June 2016, my husband and I moved to Shanghai, China. Most days I’m working from my home office in the Former French Concession while you’re asleep. I enjoy exploring my new city, eating everything from cupcakes to curry, and discovering new playlists on Spotify.
"The Total About Page Makeover helped me to understand that I am writing for my client not for me. The process of the first few exercises helped me see what others are looking for in my bio page... the section where we had to write three different sentences about what we do for our client was also helpful in clarifying for me what I do." –Michelle S.
