Recently, we made a visit to meet with Marshall Atkinson, Chief Operations Officer at Visual Impressions, a contract decorator located in Milwaukee, WI. Marshall was just named on the Stitches Power 75 list of the most important people in the decoration industry. We wanted to share insights from our meeting and time with Marshall.
