New Hire at Creative Soapbox

The new hire news seems to be a common thing these days — and that’s a good thing, I think.

In this latest round, Creative Soapbox has added Ryan Lascano as Lead UX and Interactive Designer. Ryan was previously with Carew Co., where he spent the past few years doing ‘creative that works.’

Congratulations Ryan.

New Hires at Mitchell + Palmer

And in other new hire news…

Mitchell + Palmer has added to their staff recently:

Andy Petersen has joined the agency in what I’m assuming is an account service type of role. The smoke signals and tea leaves weren’t quite clear on this one, but we’ll go with what we know…  Previously, Andy worked on the account side at Donahoe Pace.  He is a graduate of Boise State University.

Jeremy Oliver has also joined Mitchell + Palmer as a graphic designer. Jeremy is a recent graduate of Boise State University and certain to get picked on for being the new guy, at least until a newer one comes along.

Congratulations to both.

New Hires at Rizen Creative

There are a couple of new faces to be seen around Rizen Creative:

John Briggs has joined Rizen as an interactive designer, and brings his wide range of website design and programming experience to their staff.  John is a graduate of Boise State University and board member of AIGA Idaho.

Jin You has also joined Rizen as a graphic designer. Jin has experience in both print and digital design, and is also a Boise State University graduate.

Congratulations to both.

Mitchell + Palmer bulks up with creative muscle

Mitchell + Palmer in Boise has added two well-known names to their team: copywriter and creative director, Tom Donahoe, and art director and designer, Jeremy “Jerms” Lanningham.
