...and goodbye to michelle

March 04, 2009

After three and a half years with Artisan, we're feeling that mix of immense joy and sadness at saying goodbye to our favourite Mishy as she heads off on maternity leave.

However, we thought we would give Michelle the opportunity to say a few words of her own as we approach her final day, this coming Friday 6th March.

"I cant believe my time at Artisan is up on Friday... well, for the next 12 months anyway. When I started back on 6th July 2005, who knew that three years down the track, the company would have grown so much and we would be working from an old nightclub!  But as always, Michael had a vision and he carried it through to where we are today.
 
I have worked with some great people at Artisan over the years and formed life long friendships. What I will miss the most - the buzz in the office as soon as you arrive, the chatter, the singing, the laughter and, on occasion, tears of happiness.  Everyone in there contributes something unique to the team and it just works!  Artisan has been there for my engagement, my wedding and now impending motherhood!  All my milestone seemed to have happened while I have been here and I will always have very fond memories.
 
But I can't forget all the wonderful clients and candidates I have met over the last three and a half years as well. They say we help them out but they also keep us sane at the same time.  It is great to call a client and think you are chatting with a mate, have a giggle but at the end of the call they book in two freelancers - not all mates do that!  ;-)  And the great candidates that brighten your day with the amazing work in their folios and the passion for what they do. 
 
So I want to say a HUGE thank you to everyone I have met or worked with while I have been at Artisan and for making my time there very special."

Of course, the Corp/Gov team is still in safe hands with Jenna Lewis and Erica Keppel on board to take on any of your Corporate and Government needs.
