Douglas Design Works isn't a large corporation or firm. It's simply a name attached to a URL floating around in the vastness of The Internets. One person runs the show here, and that's me—a self-described creative junkie who thrives when facing challenging opportunities or adventures.
Of course the standard resume details my skills and experience, and my work should speak for itself. But by no means am I standard—so I thought I'd share a few things that help paint a more accurate portrait of who I am as an individual. After all, I may be coming soon to an office or cubicle near you. Don't you want to know what sort of gal I am before surprising the team with the new hire? Thought so.
Ten things you won't learn from the resume:
- Secret talent: I am the master of the Lip Trumpet
- Creative tool you can't live without: I love my thesaurus... I mean, my comprehensive book containing synonyms and antonyms.
- Bacon number: Two. I once dined with Clint Eastwood, who directed Mystic River, which starred Kevin Bacon.
- Worst song on your iPod: The Empire Strikes Back by Meco—complete with Wookie howl.
- Least favorite Halloween candy: Bit-O-Honey (a.k.a. Bit-O-Nasty)
- Strangest self-diagnosed phobia: I'm not terribly keen on beards, so I guess that makes me Pogonophobic.
- Guilty pleasure: PhotoBOMB!
- If called as a contestant on The Price is Right, you'd most like to play: Plinko... but I'd probably get stuck with the Race Game because I have a bad wheel, and I don't need a grandfather clock, personal sauna, golf clubs, or hideous Broyhill dinette set.
- Knowledge and experience comes from: Many years as a beanie-and-bow-tie-clad food service worker.
- I own four cars that I can magically fit into a two-car garage!
