dreams somehow. From the daily fire fighting duties of running a
dynamic Interactive Design Agency, serving various clients ranging

office and a Cocker Spaniel at home. Yolk was established on

new business, they continued to pursue towards their dreams by
keeping operating costs manageable and finding different means and
ways to stay in business. Yolk's entrepreneurial efforts were
