Grads Kristen and Kevork share with OST: Micromedia students
Kristen has designed a very successful career for herself. After graduating from OST: Micromedia in 2004 she studied graphic design at York University. Sparing you the graphic details, she worked for a Chinese newspaper redoing the layout. As a designer for Mega Brands (makers of Mega Blocks). Lead graphic designer in charge of marketing for Foxy Jeans and Bauhaus men’s clothing where she took care of branding and all print and web promotions. She still works for Foxy and Bauhaus, after choosing the path of a freelancer giving her the freedom to set her own schedule.
Kevork has taken the other direction. After graduating he started his own business with a partner, freelancing web design and development. He designed and programmed many sites including the popular Music Professionals social network NuMuBu (New Music Business) and Loreaon, an addictive browser-based game. Now he has joined Guidyu as a .php developer where he will contribute to custom-built, predictive site-search applications. Check out his portofolio at www.kevorkaghazarian.com
