It’s Rain-ing at The Spark Mill!

Little did I know, two years ago when I sat through a facilitation retreat with Sarah and her team, that not too far in the distant future I would be accepting a job to work at The Spark Mill.  I have been self-employed for over 6 years, working with my husband John at his Design/Build Firm, building a start-up from, skraach, and from time to time I would be approached to join various brand campaigns and do design freelance.  As much as I enjoy being a husband and wife team, I feel like….. it’s time.  I have been eager to flex my skills and challenge myself by going back out into the workforce. So, when the opportunity presented itself to join this team, I JUMPED, without hesitation. 

The environment, culture and the people that make up this company are rare. I feel like I have found a hidden gem in RVA.  Here, at The Spark Mill, Sarah cares about her people and what better way to for me to say “Hi, my name is…” but to share 20 unique things about myself my co-workers may not know:
