Savannah is one of the most brilliant people I know. Creative in her approach, and expansive in her thinking, Savannah is able to turn vision into strategy with clearly communicated words and documents. She is true joy to work with, dedicated, humble, and brings a magic touch to everything she touches with her attention on the little things that make a big difference. Savannah is a true star and anyone who has been lucky enough to work with her on projects knows this!
