‍

Best advice you’ve received since you started your professional career?

Reporting a problem is helpful in some ways, but identifying an issue is only part of the process.  One must get to the root of the problem and come to the table with potential solutions to bring the most value to the team.

‍

Favorite memory from working at Lahlouh?

The Christmas parties for sure!

‍

What advice would you give to someone wanting to get into the print industry?

Ask yourself if you’re built to adapt, otherwise, it might not be the industry for you!

‍

What do you think the future of the print industry looks like? How do you think that will impact Lahlouh’s future growth?

The future of print will continue to evoke emotion, convert prospects to customers and increase customer loyalty. How is a great question, but I’m sure that shops will continue to vertically integrate other services to provide their customers with the ‘whole product’. Lahlouh’s future growth will come from many other capabilities than just printing impressions.  The sky's the limit!

‍

If you could give your younger self one piece of advice, what would it be?

Stay curious, read books.
