    “Caron came highly recommended by another design studio and with some hesitation I reached out to see how her newly formed business, Strategy Bugs could be of assistance. I was immediately impressed with Caron’s wealth of knowledge, experience and her strategic yet practical advice. Caron has assisted in finessing a number of my business practices which has ultimately created efficiencies within my studio. Caron is a very clear communicator who has provided me with so much confidence to grow and elevate my design business. I would definitely recommend Strategy Bugs to any established or emerging design studios.”
