Tieja's leadership in her field comes across immediately working alongside her or watching her interact with clients. Tieja has contracted my help for a few projects, primarily with media training and interview prep, and her level of preparedness and insightfulness stand out. She's also just a very enjoyable person to work with and work around, and I look forward to doing so more in the future.
Amanda Solarik
Honest, authentic and with integrity, Tieja is a natural leader. I've had the pleasure to work with Tieja on numerous website designs and redesigns, and her goal direction was always clear with the highest level of professionalism. Never shy to go the extra mile, I've witnessed Tieja save businesses with her go-getter attitude and strong communications skill set. I'd recommend Tieja to any business in need of crisis management and brand development.
