Good design starts with a great story. Designer Laura Hobbs launches her branding and web design business with help from San Francisco SCORE mentor.
"When I approached SCORE for mentorship, I wanted to grow my freelance operation into a full-service design business. Joel was there from the start to help me write my business plan and define my market. With his on-going mentorship, I’ve put that plan into action and grown my business with confidence.
Today I work with new and existing businesses to create or evolve impactful brands and websites. My approach focuses on attracting your ideal customers, elevating your customer experience, building credibility and trust in your business, and helping your business stand out."

"What excites me about Laura is how well she listens to her clients. There is such diversity in the examples on her site! For Laura, it's all about listening and supporting the clients, and that's precisely what makes a successful consultant."
