National Jeweler – Designs on Marketing
Once a fine jewelry designer, I wrote a monthly article for National Jeweler titled Designer’s Diary. While I may no longer have jewelry design aspirations, my 10 years as an entrepreneur now provides fodder for my new National Jeweler column, Designs on Marketing. As a Marketing Consultant and Coach, I do my best to empower my clients with the tools they need to execute a strategic and successful marketing plan. In this monthly column I share tips of the trade and helpful hints on how to increase your digital footprint.
