Career Inspiration of the Week:

Organization is not only key to prioritizing your task but to successfully complete them on time. When working on projects that have multiple design challenges and timelines, leave yourself a paper trail so that you can go back easily and navigate between documents, notes and plans.

Quote of the Week:

“Take ownership of your career and never assume that others will push your career forward. At the end of the day, you are the only person who will drive things forward” ~ Anne O’Dwyer
