Welcome to episode #85 of Home Stagers and Designers on Fire. In this episode I am delighted to introduce you to my special guest Judy Bigham

After more than 20 years delivering marketing technology solutions for corporate clients, Judy left the corporate world to start her own business JB Home Style Interiors, doing staging and interior redesign. A couple of years in, she re-discovered her inner geek and pivoted to help other creatives build their websites

With jb web studio, Judy brings her love of design, both creative and technical, to translate her client’s business needs into a website solution that sets them up for success.
