Frequently asked questions
Why the monkey?
There are two factors at play. The monkey emblem symbolizes play and curiosity. A necessary ingredient in my craft. Always advocating for exploration. The secondary meaning is management shorthand. The monkey symbolizes the next move. The thing that needs doing. It sits on whoever’s shoulder took the task on last.
With the monkey jumping on my shoulder and we go through the journey together. The last place the monkey lands up at.
