I started at Eire as a full-time employee and learned all the practicalities of design, postal requirements, making mock-ups, and direct marketing ("direct mail works!") Even though I officially left my original position years ago, we can't seem to quit each other: I have been freelancing with Eire ever since, working on direct communications, POP, brand development, loyalty campaign support, collateral, online marketing, and more (at a desk that still has my name on it). The team at Eire is smart, funny, innovative, and talented—and going into their office always feels like going back home.
