Comments
“I'm always proud and happy to be part of the LIA Creative LIAisons program as a coach for young creatives. The program has served so many young talents over the years; it is a great and valuable institution in our industry. There is also nothing more gratifying than passing knowledge and experience on to young talent. And it's completely reciprocal: I learn as much as they do, in the process.”
