From the founder: "As a primary addition to our early stage startup, Jude was an integral part of our companies success for over 4 years of service. She took charge of our entire digital brand presence, from the aesthetics of logo and typeface to the actual UX experience of our app and .com platform. Rolling with the punches during an early-stage start-up is no easy feat, and Jude handled the uncertainty with positivity and agility. Her time management skills and work ethic are world-class. We've stayed in contact with each other since 2011; I'm fortunate to say we continue to find ways to work together to this day."
