My current employment is with 4c Design. The story started in 2010 when I was lucky enough to obtain the summer 2010 internship at 4c Design; beating back strong competition from 100+ other applicants. Upon completion of the 3 month internship I was offered full time employment with the company and haven’t looked back since.
