P3.instances[0].transcript.parse_transcript_data({"transcript":"Hi. I'm Stephanie Morris. I'm the COO for Wrapped. We're a design studio. Basically, there's about five artists that work in the studio-- myself and four others. We make all the work and then turn it into all the products. On a day to day basis I'd say, if I'm in the office I'm answering a lot of emails with customers that are in large accounts. For example, Nordstrom is one of our accounts. So I deal with them on a day-to-day basis just to make sure that they have all the products that they need and they have all the designs that they like. Another aspect of my job is actually designing. A lot of that is photography and building up a portfolio for upcoming catalogs. Taking a lot of lifestyle shots and getting a lot of promotional material together. On top of that, if I'm out of the office, I'm normally on a trade show circuit or traveling for different meeting examples. In a trade show, we present all of our product and try and open up new accounts by meeting new stores and writing orders. That's a day-to-day. I originally went to school for photography and art history. And then I moved to Venice, California from Boulder, Colorado because I had more artistic opportunities out there. I actually met these guys at a random night just going on Venice Beach. And we decided to start this company together. It was a dream sort of thing. I guess my advice to myself would be make sure you go on your study abroad program. Because that was the one instance that changed everything for me in an artistic way, and as well as gave me the confidence to know that I could go out and get a job and get things done. Because I was able to travel through Europe, and do all of that on my own, and do the logistics on my own. And after that happened, it was pretty easy for me to go do logistics for anything, else anywhere.
