An Articulate Account
As snow gently floats down from the steely gray sky, I find myself once again writing a final blog post. About three months have passed since I wrote my last post. Although in my last post I promised that you would see more of me in the future I had not expected the opportunity so soon. Almost immediately upon my return I realized that things were different. Around the end of the year things usually slow down but this year was an exception. A good amount of work had accumulated and that made for a busy winter break for me. Among all the work there were a few shining Roundpeg...

Another week, another goodbye as our intern Brittany leaves Roundpeg. We wish her well as she heads off to a job we have helped her prepare for. Four months ago I was sitting in front of a computer screen at a job that had no room for growth. I woke up everyday knowing I wasn’t getting anywhere in my present situation and I was frustrated.

It may seem like a boring task, but I actually enjoyed it. Sometimes it feels nice not to be creative all the time and instead read other people’s original ideas. It’s definitely inspiring.

read more3 Things Every Business Needs To Know
by Peter Wolfgram There a few things you need to know. First thing: Roundpeg just welcomed their new graphic design intern, me. My name is Peter, I’m writing from the bullpen at 106th and College and I just had Chipotle for the first time. Second thing: Call me Peter or Pete. I’ll respond to both and I’ll probably respond more rapidly if you say you brought me a Dr. Pepper. I’m a graduate of Grand Valley State University in Allendale, Michigan. While my training is in advertising strategy and brand development, I’m really an experience-taught designer with a love of high impact...
