In honour of Employee Appreciation Day we asked our newest team member – a co-op student and our Project Coordinator, Sean Rutherford, to answer 20 exciting questions.
- What is your favourite part of your position? Developing social media posts. I love using my creative side.
- What have you learned about working agency-side? Collaboration is extremely important and time is of the essence. Working together and doing check-ins prevents the creative process from being slowed or going off track.
- What’s a talent you have that many don’t know about you? I can sing. I make the music I want to make – low-fi or indie-pop – and this doesn’t always mean hitting the highest, lowest, or hardest singing notes.
- As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? I was brought up with a very realistic mindset so I came up with architecture. Sadly, I am not fond of science, so here I am in business.
- If you were to choose a completely different career what would it be? Either a singer or graphic designer. Nothing that entails a degree of science knowledge. It would have to be creatively stimulating.
- If you could be any superhero, which would you be? Spiderman. Being able to fly through the sky and climb up walls fighting local crime, all while being a photographer, would be pretty cool.
- How long would you last in a Zombie apocalypse? I’ve watched too many zombie movies and my knowledge of what to do is extensive. I could last years.
- If you could know the absolute and total truth to one question, what question would you ask? Is there intelligent life similar to us on a planet within our solar system?
- What technology from science fiction do you wish existed? A hoverboard would be awesome.
- What is something that is really popular now, but in 5 years everyone will look back on it and be embarrassed by it? Social media dance trends.
- What’s the most ridiculous fact you know? The human system of blood vessels is over 60,000 miles long which is enough to go around the world more than twice!
- If animals could talk, which would be the rudest? Dolphins. They’re the bullies of the sea.
- What is the most embarrassing thing you’ve ever worn? When I was a kid my sister dressed me up as an elderly woman with glasses, makeup, heels, and a princess dress. Luckily, very few saw the final product.
- What job would you be absolutely terrible at? Accountant. I’d probably fall asleep halfway through making an income statement.
- If you had an intro song that played every time you walked into a room, what would it be? Either “The Less I Know the Better” by Tame Impala (and walk in right on the beat drop) or “Some” by Steve Lacy.
- Where would your perfect vacation be? Tuscany, Italy
- What motivates you to work hard? Having goals, being organized, and taking it one step at a time.
- What product would you seriously stockpile if you found out they weren’t going to sell it anymore? Sour Straps. Not too sugary, not too sour. They’re becoming hard to find.
- Would you rather be completely alone for 5 years or constantly be surrounded by people and never be alone for 5 years? Being alone for 5 years would allow me to do some soul searching and further explore my spiritual being. It’s much harder to grow when you never have time alone.
- If you could travel back in time to any point in history, what would it be? The 70s, 80s, or even 90s. It seemed like a much simpler time, and the music, fashion and culture are things I indulge in on a daily basis.
