How does it feel to be a professional designer: Sane

How do you like your job: It's better than owning my own business.

How did you get this job: I heard of the opening and know some amazing people who already worked there (or did) so I applied, and was the lucky contestant (up against many other great designers in town).

What was the most exciting project you've worked on since graduation: Matthew Sweet & Susanna Hoff’s newest 7-inch record and "The End of Cinematics" intro animation.

What were some of the most important things you learned while at Parkland: To take criticism. My thick skin makes me a better designer. And to learn the rules so I can break them better.

Who is your favorite designer and why: Art Chantry, for not giving a f*ck.

What is your favorite typeface and why: Avenir is a favorite these days, close to helvetica or DIN, but just more delicate I think. it's subtle.
