i skip down the hall, shoes off, hand in hand with account services... An idea might come to my mind or their mind... I scurry off to the dark corners of the building a sketch or write it out...
Areas of Expertise
Mainly AD with a focus on digital but a lot of copywriting comes my way... Like everyone else, I had a natural skill that sent me down the path... Illustration, Painting and Sculpture... combine that with a geeky curiosity for computers and it was pretty much all over then. My career in corn husking in Indiana was over.

Company Description
Horn Group is the right firm for any technology company that wants a no-nonsense, high-impact partner for strategic communications and PR results. Our competitive edge has been constant. We've built a one-of-a-kind reputation based on these core elements:
* Broad technology and business experience — Our clientele spans market leaders, turnarounds and emerging upstarts across multiple industries.
* A powerful industry network — No other agency can compete with our media, analyst, influencer, financial community and partner connections.
* Independent ownership — This becomes more of an asset each year as others are increasingly limited in quality, flexibility and creativity by corporate ties and administration.
* Building categories and setting industry agendas — We offer a balance of strategy and results - a rare mix of methodology and innovation - that makes technology relevant and influences purchasing decision makers.
* A rewarding workplace — We employ the best people in the industry and have been recognized nationally as best employer and a top agency for three years running. Combined with our development programs and company values, this translates into outstanding tenure, client service and results.

Well Sean... my dream is to be a Creative Director.. and to get there I'm now an Advertising Designer. Monica with the accent is a cool name too. My mom named me after a saint. Not really sure why Monica.. she had a hard life, but she kicked butt too. Maybe that's why:) The industry is a bit tough right now so hopefully I'll get a good job soon. I do have some freelance projects, one for J.S. who I'm sure you've already met. Well hope to hear from you soon. Have a great one!!!
Hey look me up at the SF BIG party on the 20th. I'm off to do a new blog. Not that I have any time for them either, but they beat going to a shrink. Of course, I used to think that I was the only one that "got" my own blogs. Scary to see others do too.
Hi, yes, through school I joined the SF AMA. I also joined SF BIG -- look out for those guys, they can party! Check out their site. I am looking into joining the Greater SF ad club also.
I just saw you are working for Jim. I was Bay Area ADDY Chair and former board member of East Bay Ad Club, then AdMark and then Greater SF Ad Club. You guys also use a friend of mine as voice talent - Christiane Crawford.
Hmmm. JSA - Are you working for Stokes? I work at a lot of studios in the Bay Area. It all depends what type of services you need, plus I have a professional studio attached to my house. SOme ofthe places I like are Disher Sound, Polarity Post, One Union Recording. Down in Fairfgax I record a lot of game audio at Jory Prum's studio and the Annex in Menlo Park is also a nice facilty. A lot also depends on whether you have clients present, need to do ADR or mix down to film or video.
Thanx for takingthe time to say hio and please keep in touch.
