Charlene Prince

About

Got fed up with college and wanted to work. Started as a Studio/Darkroom Technician for Lesniak Jones Liddell Ad Agency, aged 17, before Apple Macs existed in a studio – it was all huba wax, pantone markers and drawing boards! Surprised we got any work out the door.

That was then – now over 30 years design industry experience.

Heard about the job at HCL from a printer colleague after being made redundant (thanks Trev!). Interviewed, got the gig - that was 16 years ago now!

Typical day:  Working on a mix of print and digital projects for various clients, could be preparing files ready for print, mocks ups or visuals for marketing meetings. More interestingly the “No Dickheads” vinyl for the office!

Likes: Good tea, books, gardening, sloths, walking and Dave Grohl
Dislikes: Shit Brews, Marmite and being cold

Final word:

I like tea and yoga, but I don’t do yoga - Moby

You can’t get a cup of tea big enough or a book long enough to suit me - C.S.Lewis
