He not only built a small design firm into a large one, but he also had the opportunity to serve as executive creative director for the entire Fitch network of design shops around the world.

We don&#8217;t find very many, but we forgot to look under our own noses. Dave Holloway, a creative director at Publicis [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some would say there&#8217;s a sweet spot between working full time for the man and striking out completely on your own as a freelancer. That happy middle ground is doing contract work through a staffing firm. Done right, it can combine the flexibility and variety of freelancing with the solid benefits and the let-somebody-else-worry-about-the-paperwork aspects [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the better blogs covering design is Speak Up, an off-shoot of the equally fascinating UnderConsideration. A recent post there asked the question, &#8220;What does a portfolio look like these days?&#8221;. It&#8217;s a great question, and one that was answered with aplomb by Tom Horton, CEO of Seattle integrated design-ad-interactive agency, Horton, Lantz &#38; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Seattle&#8217;s School of Visual Concepts works closely with local staffing firms, including FILTER, Aquent, Big Fish, and The Smart Department, to keep tabs on where the demand is for jobs and skills. In talking with these staffing partners, we&#8217;ve heard the case for temporary creative staffing, and it&#8217;s a convincing one. Here, in short, is [...]]]></description>
