Tell us a bit about HZDG. What does the company do, and what's your role?
"HZ is a fully integrated creative agency. We specialize in branding, interactive, advertising, and social media. I started the company 25 years ago when I was 24, with a graphic design degree and just a few clients. Today, we are over 110 people with offices in Rockville and New York City; our experts manage every touchpoint of our clients' brands. In my role as chief creative officer, I review all of the work to keep us true to our creative core. In my role as president, I set the vision of the agency as well as play a large part in new business. I love what I do every day."
