A Very Belated Goodbye!


Hello loyal readers! I realized that I never gave you a proper good-bye hug and a hearty thanks for frequenting my blog. Shame on me!

For those of you who don't know, I left Bridgetown Printing in February to pursue my passion for graphic design. I went to college for graphic design, but never really had the confidence to pursue it as a full time career. I would tell myself things like "well, I'm just not good enough" or "it's just such a competitive field." All of these lies kept me from taking the plunge. It wasn't until September of 2009 that I began freelancing part time as a way to earn a bit of extra cash, but also a way to get my creative fix.

I found a job as an in-house designer for the third largest company in Oregon, FLIR Systems. FLIR manufactures thermal cameras used by the military, police, search and rescue, and now consumers too. My role will be graphic support for the print designer, videographer, 3D animator, and trade-show coordinator. So far they have kept me very busy, which is great!

I will still be very much involved with printing in my new role, which I am thankful for. It gives me such a huge advantage to have spent 4 years in the printing industry; now when I design files they are designed with production in mind.

You can still check out my current happenings on my new blog at http://enrichdesign.blogspot.com/. I frequently post projects I am working on (along with the occasional video of my cute kid). Thanks again for reading and I wish you all the best!
