Our Musings

Knowledge is powerful and our president, Kirsten, believes in sharing her acorns of knowledge with her colleagues, proteges, and clients. With each interaction, Kirsten hopes to educate and offer further understanding of technical details and design as whole. She is constantly pushing her own boundaries and gives of herself so that others may expand their own.

This page is filled with Kirsten’s thoughts (her musings) on an expanse of design topics and beyond. In addition to articles posted solely in this space, this page will share links to articles and white papers published in reputable technical publications. With each piece, we hope that you leave with a little more understanding than you came.
