Meet the Designers

"Knock, knock!"

We’ve introduced you to the interns and our bosses, now we want you to meet some other groupies! This week we talked to some of the creative force behind Price Group, the designers. This trio can create some crazy stuff, so we wanted you to get to know them a little better.

Meet Annalee, Kaci, and Rebecca!

Annalee


Q: How many years have you been at Price? 
A: Almost 2
Q: Position?
A: Art Director
Q: Favorite thing about working at Price?
A: The cohorts.
Q: If you were stuck on a desert island, which coworker would you bring and why? 
A: David could MacGyver his way outta there.
Q: What's your go-to lunch? 
A: Brown bag and youtube in the board room with the cohorts.
Q: If you weren't working in advertising what would be your dream job? 
A: Miscellaneous crafter.
Q: What are you binge watching right now? 
A: The Killing & Raising Hope (gotta have a balance)


Rebecca

Q: How many years have you been at Price?
A: A little over four years, including my internship.
Q: Position?
A: Senior Designer
Q: Favorite thing about working at Price?
A: It sounds cliché, but the people. I love working with people that know know what they’re doing, dream big, and (most importantly) look out for each other. I love learning from them as well. We work and play hard together. I also like having the opportunity to create and work on unique projects.
Q: If you were stuck on a desert island, which coworker would you bring and why? 
A: Ha ha! Entertainment-wise, I would take any of the groupies. If we’re speaking practically, I would take David. I believe the answer on my last survey was, "That guy could build a working helicopter out of a crate of coconut fibers and one banana peel.”
Q: What's your go-to lunch? 
A: Depends on the day. Usually somewhere close, if it’s a weekday. I visited the BackDoor Diner with some friends recently (had never been before), and really enjoyed it. So good.
Q: If you weren't working in advertising what would your dream job be?
A: As a kid, I had many career aspirations (actress, adventurer, singer, counselor, CIA agent (I liked being sneaky), Supergirl (I wanted to help people…and fly), girlfriend of Superman...).
Q: What are you binge watching right now? 
A: I’m not really binge watching any one show right now (not enough time). I’ve always liked Gilmore Girls, though. New Girl can be inappropriate, but is really funny, too. As far as new shows go, the Grinder is pretty great. Love Ben Savage’s character - bless his heart.


Kaci

Q: How many years have you been at Price?
A: .25
Q: Position?
A: Designer
Q: Favorite thing about working at Price?
A: We work as a team to get a final project to a customer and we aren’t in competition with each other. I also get to laugh a lot at work and that makes all my days better.
Q: If you were stuck on a desert island, which coworker would you bring and why? 
A: I’m pretty introverted so I would kind of like to just be by myself. I might take some of the Communication Arts annuals for some light reading material though. (I also hate hurting peoples’ feelings and this question really stresses me out.)
Q: What’s your go-to lunch? 
A: My mood greatly affects my appetite so it changes daily. I can almost always go for a gyro and baklava though.
Q: If you weren’t working in advertising what would be your dream job? 
A: I would travel the world and take photos of cool places, so kind of like a national geographic photographer but with FAR less pressure. Or be a racecar driver.
Q: What are you binge watching right now? 
A: Parenthood. I just finished season 3 and they played my all time favorite song in a really sad part and I’m still not ready to talk about it yet.

Groupies In Space

Scott Kelly returned this week from his year in space and it got the groupies thinking, that's 8160 hours in space! Scott Kelley spent a lot of his 340 days in space doing biology experiments but he also floated around in a gorilla suit and created water ping pong. He even appeared on Jimmy Fallon, making him our new favorite astronaut.


So we asked our groupies, what would you do with your year in space?


AnnaLee is going to run NASA's cutest set of experiments yet.


“I would totally have to experiment on a bunch of cute fuzzy kittens and how they play with catnip laden crocheted mice and balls of yarn and how they react in space… can they still jump nimbly from space tree to space tree? I foresee lots of cuteness uploaded to the youtube featuring space kittens.” 

Brooke needs to make sure she stays busy.



“I’d probably end up going crazy like Jack Nicholson in The Shining. “All work and no play, makes Brooke a dull girl.””

Crystal is going to make some new friends.



"I am not much of a reader but I guess with all that time on my hands, I could be now. I am also a talker so I would need to find a loved object and carry one long in depth conversations with it to keep me sane (kinda like a Wilson).” 

Expect some mail from Rebecca.



“I’d probably do a lot of catching up with friends via email. Ha!…They do have email out there, right? 
Okay, I just looked it up to be sure. We’re good, guys! (*Friends and family beware.)"

Kaci is taking lessons from Mark Watney.



“I would probably grow some potatoes and teach myself how to ration properly and maybe learn some handicrafts.”


Pam is doing the peoples choice, binging Netflix.



“If I had a year in space and no terribly demanding science jobs I would read and watch all the movies I never seem to have time to do here on earth!!!”

Tj is going to become Youtube famous and eat a lot of M&Ms.



"I would spend a lot of time playing my guitar and making a YouTube channel of song covers, Chris Hadfield style. I would avoid alcohol at all costs because the idea of getting drunk in space sounds terrifying. I would probably end up spending most of my time catching M&Ms in my mouth in zero gravity."


And Natalia really has her priorities straight.



"If I had a year to myself I would probably sleep A LOT.  I would also do some flips since I’ve never been able to do that on land or trampoline."

Throwback Thursday: HALLOWEEN EDITION


It’s #throwbackthursday here at The Price Group! To get in the spirit of the season, we decided to go around the office to see some of our Groupies’ favorite Halloween memories.


I’m guessing I was about 12 or so. Obviously, I was too cool to dress up for Halloween that year but oddly enough, this was pretty much my everyday look in Middle School. Don’t judge, chest hair was really in back then so I flaunted that as much as possible. I can only assume that around this same time was when my fascination for vests and facial hair came into play as well." - Jared


Melissa was about a year and a half in this picture. According to her Mom, she found that hat and wouldn't take it off. So she put her in a dress and some costume jewelry and she became 'a little lady'.


“I was about 4 in the picture. I told my parents I wanted to be a princess, so they had my aunt make me this dress. I played dress up in that outfit all the time." 
- Brooke


"I loved little heels, costume jewelry, and anything shiny or feathery. My mom once made a 'Cinderella' dress for me for my birthday, and I wore it until it fell apart. The only thing I really remember about this costume was the set of long rainbow eyelashes. I thought they were fabulous." - Rebecca


This is only a throwback to 2013, but I still think it’s one of my favorite costumes. As for my age, old enough to know better than to set my head on fire—but young enough to figure out how to do it!” - Mike 


“That’s me in the middle. I was 5 years old and Rainbow Brite was my hero. My favorite costume ever!”- Natalia


“Zombie Amy Whinehouse. umm…. Halloween 2012." - Annalee
