Who we are

As C&M’s principals, we each enjoy successful careers: One of us (Natalie) is a business writer and journalist, and one of us (Claire) is an editor and publication project manager. We began collaborating on workshops and articles for fellow-professionals looking to improve their own skills. Now we’ve joined forces to lead a highly skilled team of professionals, the best people we’ve found in graphic design, Web site development, video production and specialized writing.
