With the recent departure of longtime Well Done art director Sarah Stewart, our creative team found itself in need of a new designer, and fast. We were about to get pummeled by January, and though we have freelance resources at the ready, we always prefer to do our thing in house whenever possible.
Did we panic? Nope. In fact, we never even posted the job opening publicly. Thanks to a confluence of fortunate circumstances, the ideal candidate was already known to us–and, better yet, available. And he has a great name: Marco Boulais.
There are plenty of reasons besides his name to like Marco: He’s an exceptional designer and illustrator, for one. A perfectionist who won’t put down the mouse until every pixel is in exactly the right place. He’s also a Ball State graduate, and we have found that designers of the Cardinal variety are usually well-prepared for success in real world. And he’s just a really good guy — personable, thoughtful, and quirky. So quirky, in fact, that he volunteered to interview himself for this blog post. So I’ll shut up and let Marco take it from here.
