Good is just not good enough.
This is my curse: finding imperfections. I can’t walk past a crooked painting without making it straight. Rocking tables are a no-no. A flickering lightbulb drives me craaaazy. And let’s not even start on bad lighting…
Jeez, it can’t be that hard to do things properly! If you’re gonna do it, do it right. If not, it’s better to not do it at all. That’s how I roll.
One day I understood the value of my meticulous, crazy obsessions and made it my job.
People now pay me to watch over their projects like a perfectionist hawk.
Happy me, happy clients.
