Excellent stories from designers!

Erin has a real knack for drawing these fantastic anecdotes and stories out of her interview subjects. Especially loved the latest episode with Veronica!

interviewer

Erin brings interesting topics to the table but then does not bring good questions or interview skills. She tends to dominate the conversation with a downer attitude.
