“I've had the privilege of working with Harrison at Numi. He's a very smart entrepreneur and a top-notch designer. Harrison knows a lot about what makes a design stand out and pays attention to every small detail which makes him really effective. Ever since the day we started working together, he showed me how smart and thoughtful he is, and I said yes to the job right away. I've learned a lot about doing great work and managing a team from Harrison. Definitely one of the smartest people I've worked with, and I keep learning from him every day.”
