Torpedo Factory Job

wow...I haven't posted anything new since December 4th! I will add some pics on here tonight, but for now the new news is...I got a great new job :)

I have been working for Blue Tulip as a graphic designer & invitation consultant. I was really enjoying it, but I saw a posting for a gallery assistant/graphic designer at the torpedo factory(an amazing art center in Old Town, Alexandria). I applied and I went on an interview & then they wanted me to do some sample design work for them for an upcoming exhibition and for their Spring open house....

well...I got the job! I am really excited. I loved working at emerge gallery when I was in school, and this is such an amazing opportunity. I am sad about leaving my current job b/c I love my boss Susan and district manager Lauren. It was certainly tough to give them my notice b/c I have a great time with them and it is so close to my home...but I just can't pass up the torpedo factory job :) And, who could ask for a better environment, right on the water front!
