Some of you may already know that I started working at EdenSpiekermann this week. As of January 2009, Eden Design & Communication, Amsterdam merged with SpiekermannPartners, Berlin to form EdenSpiekermann. They have a serious amount of experience with a staff of about 100 strong; be sure to check the brand new website www.edenspiekermann.com for loads more. I hope to write regularly on what I’m doing at ES, what I’m learning and anything else I think is worth sharing.
Okay, so last Monday was my first day, the usual meet and greet through the three floors. So many hands to shake, I felt like a broken record, but they were very welcoming and friendly. The average age is probably about the 30–40 mark. I’ve officially being studying design for just under 2 years but when you compare that to someone who has about 20 years experience, it’s a wake-up call. Nobody can claim to know it all, but with that much experience you’re doing well.
