Ueno is the 1189th fastest growing private company in the U.S., according to Inc Magazine's annual guide.

Dear Anonymous,

In my experience, no presentation is the same. The  “right” way to present depends on so many different things, including the client, the people, the project and the stage of your project.

Need advice? Email your questions to [email protected]with “Dear Ueno,” in the subject, or tweet at us with #DearUeno. You can also check out our old adviceor read about why we’re doing this. (Nothing bad will happen.)
