By Tracey Heimpel, Stance's National Sales Director
I’ve been married to you for over 25 years, and like any marriage, we've had our trying times. But no matter the challenges, we always come back together. I know that’s because in you, I’ve found my perfect match – like a soothing textile and the perfect shade of blue.
From the first time I laid eyes on this industry, I knew it was the start of something special. In the early days, I must admit I was intimidated… there was so much to learn about you. Now, I embrace how you keep our relationship fresh; always offering new opportunities to know you better and continually evolve the ways I can be the best partner for you.
Our career together has been a great love of my life. We've shared countless late nights, endless negotiations, and more Neocons & HCDs than I can count.
Sure, there have been moments when I wanted to walk away, when the clauses seemed too convoluted, and the terms too demanding. But we always find our rhythm again. We compromise, we adjust, and we move forward.
You’ve taught me patience, resilience, and the art of design. And for that, I am forever grateful. Here’s to us!
