I graduated college before computers were used in the graphic design and advertising industries, and wasn't required to use one in my jobs prior to archer-malmo. So, I was hired in their Print Production department while taking computer classes at night. Not only did I develop my computer skills, I gained invaluable print production knowledge that helped me when I moved over to the Creative department.
