Jessica Pfauth
Manager, Operations & Development
Best way to overcome a creative block: I have often found that a block needs its space. Walking away for even a few minutes, shifting attention and focus, can help let your mind see different avenues that might have been obscured by too much direct focus on the problem.
Favorite food: If it involves cheese or potatoes, I’m a fan.
Favorite drink: Good quality black teas or a craft gin-and-tonic.
Favorite Pittsburgh Space: The Gilded Age lobby of the William Penn Hotel.
Mantra: Start from where you are now.
