I recently had the great pleasure of meeting Natalie Sisson, a Vancouver-by-way-of-New-Zealand (and very well-traveled) entrepreneur whose intelligence and energy are inspiring. She maintains a blog called WomanzWorld, where she posts video & written interviews with women entrepreneurs, along with resources and advice. I highly recommend you check it out. Natalie was sweet enough to [...]

Nearly 10 years in, I still get asked all the time how we came up with the name Raised Eyebrow Web Studio. Maybe people are just being polite to me at networking-type events, but I always take it as a good sign that it’s an interesting enough name that they want to ask about it. [...]
