I really never started out thinking i was going into advertising. it just happened. I knew that I wanted to be an art director, but i wasn't really attracted to the idea of working at an agency. The best part of an agency it seemed, was the softball teams. So, when one of my professors at Pratt asked a couple of us if we wanted to do freelance work for an animation studio, I said yes.( I thought for sure that I could play outfield.) Luckily for me, it put me a production house, a small "hands on" studio, located on the lower east side of Manhattan. I arrived in blue jeans with a pack of x-acto blades in my purse. I was on my own, learning firsthand how animation worked. There were no computers. Instead, we were in a world colored ruby and amber and black. It was fantastic.
