Erin Cummings

The qualities I look for in planners or creatives is very much the same thing. Beyond the givens of talent and work ethic, I really look for people who are inspired by the everyday, people who are not afraid of the obvious and are able to reinterpret it into a creative and interesting manner.

David Droga

I've viewed myself as slightly above average in talent. And where I excel is ridiculous, sickening work ethic.

I never met a winner who had a work ethic. Not somebody who says I have so much talent that naturally I won.
