Richie Norton
“I intentionally create products and processes around projects with a beginning and an end. It’s amazing to see the few that come out of the woodwork to support a cause or a startup vs how many come out to celebrate the big launch after all the hard work, a graduation, or closing of a chapter.”
Richie Norton

“Carpenters will make you see the finer points of wood that you missed when they were trees.”
