To Market, To Market...
In our last blog, we asked the question, "How do you do it all?" Well... the short answer is, I don't. I can't. As we enter the spring market season, and I see so many of my friends and fellow creatives planning for their upcoming events, I can't help but miss the excitement I once felt when preparing for a market.
