Dougan
You can (probably) call me Fi. I'm a Kansas City native, a super duper collaborator, and probably most relevantly... an Art Director. I love a good gab, a well-organized PSD, and I loooove getting to do what I do for a living. When I was in art school I never imagined I'd land in advertising, but I also had no idea how freaking fun it is.
