“I love the entrepreneurial spirit of Purple – how everyone is focused on achieving the best possible outcome for the client. That and the snacks.”

“I tell people I’m an ‘art director’ and they think I work at a museum running around after artists. That’ll be my next career.” 

“No two days are the same here. New projects mean learning about new industries, technologies, lifestyles and those random facts come in handy at cocktail parties.”

“My motto is never do anything in pants that can be done in a dress. Also, poorly kerned menus should be burned.”
