So well written and poignant. I appreciate your thoughts and have passed this on to my summer design intern so she can see what others are doing in the highest profile agencies. She and I have a list of things to cover as goals this summer. I am hoping to make this a fruitful design experience for her. Your tips are welcome. Thanks for sharing. Andy, This is just great!

I loved this post. It has always been a fantasy of mine to work for Pentagram (although I live and plan to continue here in Pennsylvania so that's out of the question) and love hearing stories from the inside.

This was probably one of the most interesting and sincere blog posts I've read in a long time. It definitely encourages me to keep pursing the career I too have just begun.
