On Tuesday Liz (classmate) and I got to visit a brilliant graphic design company called Fuszion, which I had emailed asking if we could come in, ask some questions and take a tour of their place. (All of this was for a school presentation). They splendidly said yes, as long as I brought my dog, which I obviously didn't. Their company wouldn't exist by now.
You've probably heard of them because um...they're the bomb. And even if you haven't heard of them, I think you know companies like Warner Brothers, National Geographic, the Smithsonian, Pepsi orCoca Cola. YA. They work for them. And for many, many others. Their portfolio completely blew my mind.
Liz and I practically drooled on their stuff and I tried my best not to go too fan-girl on them, which I actually kind of think I did. Especially in emails. But we'll try not to think about that.
Their studios (located in Alexandria, VA) are the most charming thing! Spacious, airy and just the perfect place to work at.
Taking a look inside their company, which holds six employees, really confirmed the fact that I want to work in a small firm in the future. Fuszion is the perfect example of "great things come in small packages".
I got out of there with the biggest adrenaline rush on the planet, which usually only happens with quad bikes, big waves and roller coasters. That's what design does to me! What can ya do?
And I mean great design, not just any type.
Rick (who we interviewed) gave us SO many pretty things to look at.
Know what else they gave us? T-SHIRTS.
Can they be any cooler?
I really don't think so.

Está muito giro este seu post. E as suas fotografias também!
Pretty amazing!
It sure looks like a fun place to work at. Lots of pretty design things everywhere. Hope you find your perfect place to work at. :)
This is sooooooo prettyful. I've never really considered being a graphic designer, but I have to agree with the fact that a smaller design company would be a definite plus.
Seriously though, that design company is GORGEOUS. No joke.
Thanks for the daily dose of pretty! :)

my dream job, my moms dream job, my brothers dream job. maybe we should all start our own graphic design firm. although i would be the only one of the 3 of us that doesn't actually work in design at the moment, and i'm more of a hands on fabric gal. but, fashion design also involves some graphic design, so, we could make something work.
that place is totally cool beans, and i love the pic with your bag.
Ah! This is so amazing! I never thought to tour a graphic design company- what a great idea. Sounds like the perfect place to work... eeek! :D
