“Liza is the definition of “the complete package” and became quickly clear when meeting her for the first time! She is the perfect balance of kindness, creative and “gets stuff done.” Liza is a natural leader and has the rare ability to engage both creative & operational teams. I look forward to every interaction we have, whether it be 1:1 or in a group setting - where she can be counted on for innovative & creative ideas, pointing out things overlooked and leading inclusively. She can naturally anticipate needs and adjust to any setting she finds herself in. Easily both a supportive team player or a confident leader, she is an asset to every situation. Her dynamic professional characteristics and attributes are a positive contribution to both short and long-term projects. Her ability to lead stakeholder engagement with a business mindset while keeping creative top of mind always leaves me in awe. After over a year of having the privilege of being her partner in planning on large projects, I continuously look for ways to collaborate with her.”

Improved Mood Ring Actually "Gets" You
Reductress
Satire. Like a mood ring can actually SENSE your desires, like some mystical basal thermometer? C'mon. I mean, I wore mine strictly because I thought snot-colored gemstones were fashionable, didn't you?
