Now that it's officially out in the open, what exactly do we feel that Sofiona Designs will bring to the PDF table? I'm so glad you asked! There's our names, our goals, and a special charity that we have chosen to support.A tester asked us one day about ourselves and what we wanted them to share about during this upcoming launch and going forward. My answer was (and still is), we are nothing overl…
