It’s not like the holiday season changes every year..but it does seem like a surprise every time.

I’m very thrilled to report that the response to my job posting for a new designer here at E.Webscapes recieved such a large response. The talent out there is inspiring and I had the opportunity to talk to several designers from diverse backgrounds..it was really an interesting couple of weeks.
