As of Wednesday March, 14, 2007 I am no longer working with Fuel Industries as their Art Director; instead I have accepted a position with McMillan as their Creative Director for Interactive Services. This is something that has been in the works for some months now and is a small reason why I have been quite silent on this blog. Tempting as it was to blab about it before, the satisfaction of being able to do so now is far more rewarding. Needless to say it was an easy decision to make — I have been with Fuel Industries for the past six years and I have made some great friends there — but it was time to move on and do something new. As these things go, it was an opportunity for me to grow as a designer and explore new avenues and also work with a dramatically different group of folks.

The transition from Fuel Industries to McMillan wasn’t without its bumps, and though I won’t get into that I will say that the fringe benefits of working at McMillan are awesome. I’m not talking about the salary (which is hella awsome) or all the other perks, I’m talking about the location. The McMillan building is right at the edge of the Byward Market — for those of you who are familiar with Ottawa, simply “the Market” — and the sheer number of great restaurants to hit up for lunch is something I am looking forward to experiencing. Ottawa in the summer is great, the Market is always buzzing and there’s a ton of things to see and do. Plenty of stuff to occupy my lunch hour. When I get a chance I’ll post up some photos of the office and later this summer, perhaps some pics of the Market.

FYI: this is where I am.
