Headspace creatively connects

Kevin and I participated in the annual Creative Connections at Queen Street Studios on a cold, rainy Saturday in April. We shared the floor with some other great industry professionals, including Paul Douglas from Melon, and Joel Kelly who presently works for Colour.
We spoke to small groups of design students, mostly from NSCC and NSCAD, and got to sample many of their portfolios. These kinds of events are great for all involved; Employers get to see the latest talent up-close and personal without booking individual interviews, and students get meet a variety of employers and showcase their portfolios without the potential for rejection that comes with cold-calling. Kudos to QSS for putting this together.
We met a talented designer, with a great book and equally great outlook named Matt Carleton. We hit it off, and invited him to do a one-month work term with us. He has been working with us for a couple of weeks now, and is a great asset to our team.
