Right before I moved out to Colorado, I was freelancing in Chicago. And one job came up where they needed help with this (how can I say it) multi-million dollar four-day event for a major corporation. They needed someone who knew how to handle large format printing, presentation design, regular printing, illustration, and retouching. It was supposed to be a two-month contract.

They asked me to stick around for a little longer. I stayed there for a little over a year and helped them with even more big fun events.
