Importance of Digital Practice Management:

We have the ability to design using traditional tools like paper, lead, and colored pencils. Our medium could be anything from mylar and bond paper to something as simple as a napkin. Alternatively, our medium could also be digital, utilizing software and mouse clicks. Technology doesn’t hinder the creative thinking process, but rather amplifies it, provided we have a good understanding of how to use the tool effectively.
