Issabella delivered such valuable insights on the city of Seoul and what direction we could go with the program we were building there. She was creative beyond anything I’ve ever seen. Her attention to detail was off the charts. Typically people excel on one side of the creative > detail-oriented continuum. But Issabella is one of these rare people who are excellent across the entire spectrum.
