Subjective

I first learned about Heron Labs through Chantle Edillor, who took on her first consulting project with them after posting about homemade sour gummies on LinkedIn—a post I had encouraged her to share to attract that exact kind of opportunity. Seeing that connection form reminded me how small acts of creative visibility can spark meaningful professional breakthroughs.
