New Editors at Fuel Your Illustration!

Friday, August 27th, 2010 in Press, Team

Illustration-NikkiFuel Your Illustration is proud to welcome Nikki Jeske and Rondal Scott III into their new roles as Co-Editors.

Nikki and Rondal are not completely new faces; they have both been regular contributors to Fuel Your Illustration since around the beginning of the year. Both of them will share the editing and running of the site, as well as still contributing articles.

rondalBoth are web designers by trade, and certainly know a thing or two about illustrating and making your websites, logos and anything else you like looking awesome. Nikki works from Design Coyote and Rondal through GhostlabDS. Both are self-confessed Twitter addicts, follow them both here and here.

When they’re not creating awesome web design and working on Fuel Your Illustration, Rondal indulges his inner-child at his site Strange Kids Club, and Nikki draws, draws, draws – especially dogs! – over at The Family Menagerie.

Everyone at the FUEL Network wishes them the best of luck in taking Fuel Your Illustration from strength to strength!

Editor Spotlight: Lisa Kribs on Clothing in Corporate Culture

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009 in Press

Some local 20-somethings believe that every day should be Casual Friday. Fuel Your Branding Co-Editor Lisa Kribs was interviewed in the Democrat & Chronicle last week, a Rochester, New York newspaper.

Excerpt below:

Lisa Kribs, a freelance brand strategist for This is Epidemic (www.thisisepidemic.com) and co-editor of Fuel Your Branding (www.fuelyourbranding.com), sees things differently. “I think that traditional structure is based on some negative things — intimidation, hierarchy — and it ends up restricting productivity,” says the 26-year-old Rochester resident. “I think the corporate environment is evolving big time and the whole mentality is shifting.”

Kribs sports her own edge, with half of her bleach blonde hair shaved off. “It’s been widely accepted,” she says of her hairstyle. “I think my clients welcome change and that kind of a style. My hope is that they view it as a creative expression.”

Millennials like Kribs are the newest generation to join the workforce. They can text, talk and Tweet all at once and want work to revolve around them, not the other way around. More than anything, these 20-somethings want to be themselves at work — and that includes maintaining their personal styles and not being forced to cover up tattoos and piercings.
