Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?Voice:=20sole-proprietor=20first=20person=20?=

Mike is a sole proprietor. Convert Open Communications' practice voice from "we/our"
to "I/my" (Michael) across the homepage + Inga page. Labels: "How we work" -> "How I
work"; "Who we are" -> "Who you work with" (the section lists Michael + Inga).
Collaborative "we" (you + me) and Inga's own first-person/project "we" left intact.
