Brown Dog was honored to host two St. John Country Day School students, Lucy Bolt and Brooke Butterworth, as our guest “shadows” for the day. As part of SJCDS’s Senior Week, the school encourages graduating students to heighten their career awareness and gain some practical experience in a field of interest.

Our two creative “shadows” plan to attend Ole Miss University and Clemson, respectively. In the morning, we introduced them to our specialty and passion — web design. As a case study, we reviewed Linda Cunningham’s website. We discussed how we developed a look and feel appropriate for her design business. As a bonus, Linda kindly invited us to tour her Jacksonville boutique and studio where she creates and sells her lovely designs. This gave the girls a taste of our process, how we go about learning about our clients’ businesses and specific project needs, and how we represent their brands for desired continuity.

They seemed to like our relaxed culture and creative environment which we reinforced with a quick trip to Starbucks®! We hope we inspired them (just a little) to pursue a creative career upon graduation.
