Hello! From the New Blogger

Hi! I'm Marcos! :B 

I just started working full time here at Hallmark (this just happens to be my 3rd week). But I'm not entirely new to this creative community, I actually had the pleasure of working as a Creative Intern in this summer's Hallmark Internship, and was offered a position at the end! Wooh. My home department is Greetings Innovation, (the same department as Josh), working with Light, Sound and Motion.

I am a Graphic & Interactive Designer born in Puerto Rico then transplanted to Florida, and I graduated this year from Ringling College of Art and Design in Sarasota. This has been my first time ever in the Midwest, and I've had a great time so far, I really enjoy exploring Kansas City!, and finding hidden gems. I'm really into the local art scene, thrifting/antiquing, music, doodling, Frida Kahlo, and astronomy. 

I hope to blog about all my adventures around town. 

Yay I'm happy to be part of cre•a•tiv•i•ty!

Formalities

Two year ago, this October, I was hired by Erin Mills (yes, the same Erin that started this blog) to work on Hallmark's "core" Humor team. I worked there making cards covered in monkeys and fart jokes and loved it. Just recently, I moved to the magical land of sound, light, and motion; a much more demanding environment. Which is why i am enjoying a delicious Tuscan Chicken Panini, and typing this over my lunch break. Before all of this though, I went to a small school called Kutztown University (the other KU) in Pennsylvania and majored in Graphic Design. Hallmark flew me out here, i loved it, and i moved half way across the country to be here. I'm slightly obsessed with the internet and I've been blogging since the birth of Xanga. Other than the internet, I also really enjoy the music scene, playing kickball and video games (what, i'm a guy). Now that I put everyone to sleep with my rambling, I will say how cool it is to be part of this Cre•a•tiv•i•team (see what i did there!?), with this group of wildly talented, fun filled girls. I think my main purpose for me being here though, is to bring some masculinity to this blog, so i'll do my best to deliver. Until then, peace out.
