One of Lizzy's favorite things is her Mirror. It's her portal to her happy place. “If I want to get a workout in or if I’m having a bad day, I go to my Mirror, take a class or do a meditation, and all is right in the world.”
“I love the hunger, excitement, and optimism of founders. Working with them makes you want to stay at the top of your game and dig your heels in to help.”
“I love taking a bunch of disparate parts about a person or a brand and weaving them together to create a narrative that gets attention, drives loyalty, and inspires passion.”
