...and here's the big reveal, readers...the new venture I embarked on several days ago...
I was hired as a designer for the company We R Memory Keepers.
Last week, I visited the corporate offices and met the fabulous team behind all the innovative We R products that I've been using for years, and getting a feel for the work vibe and what the job will actually entail. I'll be designing product to be sold in stores (AH!) and coming up with new ideas for products to aid in memory keeping.
It was an absolute pleasure at that office, but a big challenge as well. I'm learning rather quickly that designing for fun is very different than designing for a living (post on that coming soon). I certainly have my work cut out for me -- in the best way possible. I'm up for it, and I look forward to where my creativity and this collaboration takes me. I'll be blogging about the process, and if you follow along, will get first hand peeks at what's it's like to design for a craft company specializing in all things memory-keeping. Excited.
Also, if you were playing along last week with my "Where in the World is Amanda Rose Zampelli?" posts I, II, and III, you would have seen some photos from my trip. Where was I? Where is We R's corporate office located? Why, none other than...
Those mountains! Uh! Those mountains! I swear, everytime I caught site of them, I literally breathed the word "wowwww" out of my mouth. Like, I couldn't hold it in. I believe Miss Carrie Sunday and Miss Sharon Burkert were on to where I was. Nice sleuthing, ladies! ;)
So yes...the mountains in Salt Lake City, Utah are absolutely breathtaking...as is this opportunity I've been presented with (don't think I don't know it). I plan to work hard, do my best, and fill you in on it as much as I can. ♥ Stay tuned!
