uses Technology to

Yes to the Dress”
https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/244292
16. ● Mom ran the business for years
● Daughter joined after college, started thinking about how technology
could help:
○ Learn about customers ahead of time by surfing media online
○ Tailor match-ups to personalities
○ Solve in-store bottlenecks at the design desk and checkout by creating
tablet-friendly shopping app
○ Promote w/in-store selfies with company name and hashtags

“You have to remember that people always enter a
space with different intents, goals, and mindsets and
you have to take into consideration that people have
various attention spans. Some people will be willing
to engage more with your environment, whilst others
will just pass through the space.”

If it ain’t broke...
Adobe Lightroom recently changed it’s
mobile display and it’s driving my wife
crazy.

solver; it has now moved into a second era
where it’s seen as a creator of meaningful
