SO WHAT ABOUT ME?

I like movies. Books. Living on the coast in the middle of a forest. Animals who live with us & don’t live with us. Not complaining about the weather. Cooking also eating. When ‘Mermaid Avenue’ or Michael Kiwanuka or Lucinda Williams or Elvis Costello are on repeat. When my husband makes Dutch Babies. Friends & family & friends who are definitely family. Going somewhere. Coming back.

15 years at Wieden + Kennedy working for Dan & David, the best ECD’s a human could hope for, taught me the work comes first. It still does. It has to.

Awards: Cannes Golds and Silvers etc, One Show Best of Shows etc, CA’s, D&ADs, CLIOS, COMMUNICATION ARTS, ADDYS, ANDYS, Copywriter of the Year; Best Ad campaigns of the past 25 years; Kelly Award Grand Winner twice in a row (first time that ever happened so they changed the rules); Permanent display in the Smithsonian; Permanent display in MOMA; Special commendations from The US Surgeon General, The Women’s Sports Foundation, The Women’s Law Review, Oprah (3 or 4 times I forget) and a nifty little lawsuit by the Beatles until they dropped it. Yes.

ABOUT RICK MCQUISTON

Named 'the quintessential art director' by the NYTimes, Rick started as a copywriter and photographer then switched to Art Direction, Design, and Creative Director. He was an athlete, a journalism + history major, a solo pilot, skier, runner, kite surfer, tennis player, animal-advocate, avid traveler and adventurer and deep liver of life, a 1,000% non-phony human being who knew being a great creative - in any life - takes the utmost craftsmanship, curiosity, commitment and an obsessive amount of joy. Winner of the First Emmy ever given to a commercial for his groundbreaking campaign ESPN: THIS IS SPORTSCENTER, his work is on permanent display in The Smithsonian and MOMA, and he's the winner of dozens of Cannes Gold and Silver, Art Directors' Guild, too many D&AD's to count, One Show Best in Show, 8 time Kelly Award finalist, Communications Arts all over the place, ADCE, Graphis, The Addys, etcetera. Right next to Dan & Dave, Rick is by far the best ECD I ever worked with, or have known, in my life.
