How do you feel about being the 2009 ADDY Collateral Designer?
I feel pretty good about it. I like the final piece with Addy as the starlet. It was fun to see how she came to life, so to speak. Can you tell us a little bit about where you work ?
The Art Department is a design studio. Our niche is publication design, however, we have become quite versatile with advertising and marketing campaigns.
What is your job title there? Creative Director, but I also don the title of janitor now and then.
What is your education and work experience? Montgomery College and University of Maryland. I worked several years in a small design studio called AURAS Design and also served as Deputy Art Directory at AARP The Magazine.
