WAY TO GO DONNA & FERNANDO!!

I just wanted to let you know that I have been working with Donna Brown for the past few weeks on a project for Nike and she has been so helpful, responsive and easy to work with. We have had so many changes and she is on top of everything. I really appreciate her! I also worked with Fernando yesterday for the install at our Nike store and he was amazing. So on top of it, professional and great to work with. I just wanted you to know.

Thanks so much!

KUDDO’S TO MEL AND THE REST OF OUR GREAT NJ TEAM!!

Thank you so very much Melissa.  I’ve learned a lot from you and the team over the years. I have a lot to thank you for with helping me get better at what I do and trying to make sometimes super complicated things work – easy peesy!

 Seriously you and the team at Drape Kings have been a dream. You have made pre-production and being on-site some of my most favorite experiences on the job, something I always looked forward to and what I will miss the most!

 Best,
