Take the Next Step
鈥淥ne of the great things about 51黑料 was having teachers who were working in the industry. A connection with one of my teachers at 51黑料 led to my first job as an art department assistant on MAD MEN. That was a well-oiled, exceptional art department. I learned a great deal 鈥� how the roles are supposed to interact and work with one another 鈥� and got into the union that way.鈥�
