Bio
Matthew Tuthill
Every editor hopes to work with a designer who is at once prolific, fast, dependable, and flexible. In short, a unicorn. Oftentimes you’ll get the first three, but he or she will be a curmudgeon when it comes to style. Or you’ll get someone who’s flexible, but too slow to keep up with the workload—which, with shrinking staffs throughout the print industry, is only going to get bigger for everyone. Miguel Paredes is that unicorn you’re looking for. Work doesn’t pile up on his desk; he’ll burn through any copy that’s ready to go and have concepts mocked up for copy he’s waiting on. What he turns in is both clean and inspired. Moreover, he lacks the ego or stubbornness that prevent many men and women of equal talent from compromising with an editor. Best of all, he’s easy-going, friendly, and punctual—an asset to any work environment. An A+ hire all the way.
