Meet Gabe!

We’d like to introduce you to the newest member of studioSavvy: Gabe Kelley! In case you’ve ever wondered what it takes to be hired here, we’ve decided to post our grueling interview questions along with Gabe’s answers. Obviously, he aced it.

INTERVIEW QUESTIONS

Q: What’s your record for eating hotdogs in one sitting? (Either quantity or speed.)
A: I eat hot dogs at about 1,337 bites per minute. Sadly, I get full after about four loaded with cheese and chili.

Q: What is your favorite font?
A: I take a strong liking to anything Wingding related. But other than that I dig heavily on Knockout.

Q: C, M, Y, or K. Which is better and why?
A: Y. Cause Y not!? I’m hilarious.

Q: Springsteen or Bjork?
A: Bjo…Just kidding, I’m not a dummy. Springsteen.*

Q: What’s going on in your head at this moment? Be specific.
A: I’ve had this thought in my mind all day. Check this out. Slytherin = slither in. I cracked Rowling.

Q: If a train leaves boston going 60 mph and another train leaves new york city going 37.453 mph how long until they meet?
A: Well if 2+2=4, the obvious answer is 117 minutes.

Q: What is the air speed velocity of an unladen swallow?
A: 117 minutes.

(Editor’s note: *Incorrect, but 6 for 7 is still pretty good.)

In addition to his outstanding wit and love of unhealthy foods, Gabe is also an excellent designer who will be returning to MICA in August (unless we can convince him otherwise). He is currently working on his BFA in Graphic Design with a concentration in Photography. In his spare time he has created the photography blog poor-places.com that currently has 5,000 followers and a monthly page viewing of about 10,000. Not too shabby!
