  After nearly a decade of listening to "Rock Lobster" on repeat alone in his office, Ian thought to himself, "Maybe it's time for a change." Removing his headphones and cracking the office door, he reentered the world and found a new home managing bits and bytes and the development team with Friendly Design Co. He codes, he helps, he is expressly forbidden from touching the company playlist.

  I managed all aspects of my newborn company including new business development, client and project management, interactive design and development. Additionally I controlled the company playlist and achieved 100% success in playing "Rock Lobster" by the B-52's endlessly on repeat during working hours.
