I really have been wanting to post a little update about my job, and give some insight of what I've been doing so far! First, I LOVE IT!! I think I have the best job in the world, seriously:) We're very, very busy. It's a little crazy, but that's a good thing.
As you know from a previous post, we are designing a plane for The Walton's (the Wal Mart empire). We had a meeting with them on-sight. Here's a little taste of how it went/what we do...
First, there's a conference call, so that we can get an idea of what they like (color/design wise). From that conversation, we pull a bunch of things we think would look nice in their jet.
We set up a bunch of samples in our conference room for them to browse through in our first meeting...
We have some amazing fabrics!
We also put together some of our own ideas for color schemes that we think would look nice in their jet...
The carpet we use is 100% wool (and sometimes silk), so that it can meet burn tests (for fire). It costs around $400+/sq yard. Crazy stuff.
During the meeting we work with them to make their final selections. Sometimes what we think they might like and what they actually like are totally different. Here's the color board we sent off to them this week with the options they liked most!
And finally, although I don't spend a lot of time here (besides computer drawings), here is my desk!
One more photo! This is an aerial view of Duncan... all of the gray buildings are ours.
I've been there one month and I still get lost!!! ;)
Stay tuned for more pictures of The Walton project! :)
