AP Consulting was founded over 30 years ago. Helping over 1000 clients innovate on an incredibly diverse array of projects has been a great journey… while also being a full-time educator, leader and coach.Five years ago I stepped away from education full-time and coaching and expanded consulting efforts.Demand for our design services has increased exponentially by word of mouth. Expansion into the creativeStir design studio, as part of AP Consulting, was the next logical step.Keep moving forward…My thanks for your support and for helping spread the word!All the best,Adam
