Happy (belated) Birthday, Katie!

As one of the newest members to the Vision team, we didn’t bother Katie on her actual birthday…but a day late isn’t so bad…right? We sat down with the bubbly (newly turned) 24 year-old to talk about travel, life before Vision and what’s coming up next.

First things first, what’s your title?

Graphic Designer

What kind of accounts do you work on?

(She chuckled.) Everything and anything. I’ve dabbled in cheese, pharmaceutical and even touched the whiskey business!

What are your favorite types of projects to work on?

Branding stuff. So concepts, I guess. More creative, because you kind of get to do whatever you want.

You’re relatively new to Vision. What were you doing before you joined us here?

I was working at Applegate, the natural and organic meat company. I was a graphic designer there as well.

Do you have a hobby?

I taught myself to play guitar about four years ago and I bartend on the weekends. So yeah, basically that!

If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go?

Oh that’s hard. I think South America. I’d like to go there because it seems like it would be different than where I’ve gone already. I’ve been to Europe twice (Greece and Austria), and I’ve also been to Mexico nine times.

Tell us your favorite quote.

“To live will be an awfully big adventure.” – as said by Robin Williams in Hook.

We were going to ask if you had a favorite item on your desk, but there’s not a lot here. Do you have a favorite item?

Yeah there’s not a lot on my desk, but last year for Christmas I got a green beach cruiser bike. All it needs is a bell, but it’s fancy. I love it.

And last but not least, what are you looking forward to most in 2017?

We’re planning a trip to California. It should be fun, I’ve never been west of Pennsylvania (within in the United States).

 

 

We’re glad we could steal a few minutes with you. Sorry for the delay, but we’re glad you enjoyed your birthday!

The AMI Digital Summit: The Flight Crew Heads to Chicago

Our Flight Crew makes penguins fly from the East Coast most days, but that doesn’t mean we don’t love spreading our wings every once in a while–especially when it’s to hone our skills so we can become even smarter, more efficient, and more digitally savvy when it comes to the latest industry happenings.

Creating the GDUSA Award-Winning Biovanta Website & the Relationship Behind It

Creating the GDUSA Award-Winning Biovanta Website & the Relationship Behind It

Winning a GDUSA award is always exciting because it’s both a celebration of our designers’ hard work and a time to reflect on our partnership with a client in relation to the project itself. We’re only as good as our last project after all, and our partnerships make us who we are. So let’s take a dive into not just creating the GDUSA award-winning Biovanta website, but into how it all came to be.

Grassroots Marketing

Grassroots Marketing

We recently brought a grassroots marketing campaign to life in Central Park for the family-owned snack company John Wm. Macy’s. Our experience got us thinking about the core aspects of grassroots marketing and audience engagement, and what it takes to create a successful campaign. It’s a layered concept, so let’s dive in together.
