For many years, Ari contemplated the drive of opening her own practice. In 2016, she decided to prepare to follow that dream.

 

With many years of experience on account, she envisioned a business intended to support industrial and commercial clients with a simple project process and environmentally friendly approach. It took one and half years to prepare for departure from a former employer, and to bring the dream to fruition.
