What “Breaking away from the expected” means to me
Breaking away from the expected means active listening. Truly listening to the clients’ needs is critical in understanding what solutions would best support them.
The qualities that make me “unconventional”
Being able to adapt and adjust tasks and solutions based on my client’s current priorities.
