Amy Finder • Graphic Designer amy . finder @ ispastaff . com • 1.859.963.1877 “ I haven ’ t finished this yet , but I started The Charisma Myth by Olivia Fox Cabane — great for those interested in the mysteries of charisma and how to improve it . Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman is an interesting , somewhat dark adventure for those inclined toward the fantastical .”
Nelson Lane • Marketing Manager nelson . lane @ ispastaff . com • 1.859.551.3906 “ WWII In Color on Netflix . It broke down the war into the most serious conflicts and did episodes centered on D-Day , Pearl Harbor , Battle of the Bulge , etc . Seeing it all in color was eye-opening .”
