The work through Knucks has been exciting and has been a great journey to understand all that’s required to operate a business as a sole proprietor. I’ve done work for numerous clients on tight deadlines and exceedingly high expectations. I’ve also built a number of side businesses to understand more thoroughly aspects of businesses I wasn't well versed with.
