What are three career lessons you’ve learned in your professional life thus far?
Perfect is the enemy of done. Don’t be afraid to make something that gets thrown away later. Sometimes we need to draft and experiment in order to learn. Welcome every person who comes through your door (calls your phone, writes you an email, etc.). Learn what is reasonable to expect of yourself and let that be enough.
What advice would you give to new hires?
Learn how we do things, then start thinking of how we could do it better.
