How being a CD got me a freelance job!

[Ilsa]

As a designer I was able to acquire a contract with a pharmaceutical company that specialized in what else feminine products. The assignment was to design packaging for these various products. The project manager suggested that I look to my feminine side to bring out the designs that would be most attractive to a female consumer. Little did she know that that was a given.

So I found it a perfect opportunity, or excuse, if you will to dress and proceed with my designs. After my presentation she loved them and I was able to get an extended contract.

I only wish I could have presented my designs as Ilsa.:daydreaming:

Why not? From your post it appears the manager knows about Ilsa.

In any case, good for you!

I designed food containers designed to sell to the female populace.
This was akin to the catalog photos I was involved in.

Congratulations. You must be so talented. Continued success and always enjoy Ilsa.

Ilsa is you - always. Even if you are not dressed as Ilsa, you did present your ideas as Ilsa, who is always in your heart and spirit!

[Helena Gwyn]

That sounds great, happy for you!

Same for me, starting a new design or sketch, dressing up 'opens up' something.

Hi Ilsa, I guess that we could say that you used your secret weapon.

[Karren H]

Awesome! I've been trying to figure out how to do that for years but there's really no feminine side when it comes to mining coal.... sigh.....

+1 on the Mel Gibson movie. I would think pastel colors would be best. Congrats Iisa.
