## From Computer Scientists to Laboratory Scientists

November 5, 2018

Within the last year or so of sharing an office space with Azzur Labs I have learned quite a bit about bacteria. Turns out sponges, steering wheels, and cell phones are all notoriously more disgusting than you could ever imagine.

## 5 Ways To Crush a Creative Roadblock

August 21, 2018

As a designer, I oftentimes find myself fighting through a creative roadblock. Sometimes, it’s constructed of toothpicks and Elmer’s glue. Other times, it’s made of titanium. There are days that I get assigned a new project and instantly start chugging away.

## Why you need to think Voice First

August 2, 2018

I’ve been a part of the digital marketing landscape for more than a decade. During that time, I have been to a plethora of conferences, each with their own unique focuses – from Search to Ad Technology to Mobile- but I have to admit, none have been more exciting, invigorating or impactful as last week’s Voice Summit held in Newark, NJ.

## Monthly Moment: A Butter Blunder

July 30, 2018

The day started out like most others - wake up early, take the dog on a walk, grab some breakfast, and head into the office. As I stumbled into the kitchen in desperate need of some caffeine to kick start my morning, I was graced with the most heavenly smell you could imagine.

## 3 Books you need to read this summer.

July 10, 2018

I have always been a reader. I grew up in a house where reading was preferred over mindless TV watching. To this day, my father, aka the “wordsmith” as coined by his friends, likes to throw obscure words at me to see if I can define them. The interaction is similar to talking to Siri. When I fail, he blames my alma-mater (Sorry PSU!)

## Bring on the Festivus!

June 19, 2018

The official day of the Festivus is December 23rd, but in our office, we encourage the airing of the grievances in the moment. We are not talking about negatively expressing your opinions about projects or colleagues in a mean or demeaning way. We are talking about the routine airing of challenges that can stop projects from moving forward, or stop us from working as a collaborative team.

## Give Your Website the Routine Maintenance it Deserves

June 6, 2018

Picture this: You’re driving down the road in your 5-year-old car. It has a decent amount of miles and there has been a weird noise coming from the engine for a while that you’ve just been ignoring. After all, it’s running just fine. All of a sudden, the wheel starts to shake.

This is only capable when a site has strong calls-to-action, content, and visual elements working together to drive the user to the end goal.
