"Heather helped me to dive deeper into the details of my idea. Her art and business knowledge is wide, which offers breadth of perspective. She provides a wide-angle view when it comes to problem-solving and strategy. She asked me the right questions and kept our conversation moving along to a satisfying conclusion. Plus, it was fun!"
-Jai Cochran, Colorado painter
