Quotes: 

“What I discovered actually is when I wanted to identify my value proposition and my company's value proposition with the existing design thinking firms here. So I went within and then I asked myself, so what is something that only I can give that these firms do not have? And mind you, these firms are fenced now.” - Joie Cruz

“I discovered that there's always been that entrepreneurial fire inside of me. So even if at that time I worked for the government, I would say that I was an entrepreneur now.” - Joie Cruz

“I was able to validate it. Hey, my skills fall out, why facilitate? That was my coming out party.” - Joie Cruz
