Ben Jenkins, owner and Creative Director of OneFastBuffalo in Dallas, is the 2009 CAAD Alum of the Year!
Check out his bio here: http://www.onefastbuffalo.com/Bio.aspx?ui=9 and his design firm OneFastBuffalo here: http://www.onefastbuffalo.com/
Ben will be visiting campus this week as a part of the Alum of the Year festivities. That means that Ben will be giving graphic design students some of his time this Friday, February 6 at 10 am in Stafford 200. He and Caroline Crawford [a designer at OFB and another talented MSU GD grad] will be speaking about their OFB experiences. Very informal. It's an excellent chance to ask those burning graphic design questions about life after MSU.
So, spread the word, mark your calendars & see you there!
