Tilt

Today is my last day here at Tilt and I just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for the opportunities that I’ve gotten while working here.

My primary job at Tilt was designing and pushing forward Jes-M, Tilt’s new eco-friendly product line headed by Jess. I had a blast (no pun intended) working with her and her wonderful drawings. One of the things I love most about design is creating patterns from drawings and I was lucky enough to find a job that allowed me to do just that. Plus, I was able to work with a very talented artist who I’ve grown to respect and adore. Jess’s work is truly wonderful and certainly unique to everything else that’s out there. Her drawings have made beautiful patterns that cover the Jes-M products.  Jes-M is in good hands and it’s going to take over stores near you- be on the look out!

Besides creating patterns, I also got to work toward the branding of the company and heading some of the marketing aspects. And on occasion I even got to screen print and paint, which are always fun. I seldom got to work on projects outside of Jes-M, but the few projects I did get to help with, such as an invitation logo for IND and sketches for Baltimore Recreation and Parks, I enjoyed very much.

Personally, I’d like to thank Rachael for finding me and giving me a chance, Mike for teaching me a few things about wordpress and expanding my music playlist, Amber for being there to talk to and laugh with (and Matt too), Jill for helping me out when Jes-M got overwhelming and Jess, for always being there for me and for working through this stuff together. I’m going miss being around talented designers and artists all day long. It’s something I’ve gotten used to, however I do believe I am headed on the right path to finding exactly what I’m meant to do out there in the big bad world.

Thanks for all the good times. Good luck with everything! Come see a hockey game sometime!
