My first career job was for Slime Tire Sealant, I was just a junior designer then but was taken under the wing of a very awesome person, Brad Holahan. Brad was my Art Director, and at the time I didn't know he allowed me so many freedoms. Later in my career I would learn the harsh reality of agency life and started on the bottom as a "production designer", just a nice way of saying you're a "wheel in the machine". Needless to say I didn't work in an advertising agency for long and have been avoiding them ever since.
