During my time at HGM, Hallmark Hiya™ was being developed as the leading colour animated content brand for 2.5G (MMS and i-mode) technologies. The majority of content produced was mobile greetings and phone decoration/personalisations. The European business was centred in the UK and all developments were coordinated on a global basis to maximise delivery of leading edge propositions. The parent company is the leading brand of greetings cards worldwide.
Early involvement with this start-up company allowed contribution to the business in many ways and as the business developed so did my position within the company. As senior designer I developed important project management skills.
