Today, we spotlight an employee who models the work and success of our company. Mike C, an employee since 2007, adds a myriad of talents, skills and insights to our marketing team as a graphic designer and project manager. I had the opportunity to chat with Mike, getting to know a bit about his background.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.coastalvectors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/6a00e54fe20d0088330147e24da931970b.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-426\" title=\"6a00e54fe20d0088330147e24da931970b\" src=\"http:\/\/www.coastalvectors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/6a00e54fe20d0088330147e24da931970b-300x170.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"170\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.coastalvectors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/6a00e54fe20d0088330147e24da931970b-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.coastalvectors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/6a00e54fe20d0088330147e24da931970b-1024x580.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.coastalvectors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/6a00e54fe20d0088330147e24da931970b.jpg 1740w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>Mike\u2019s Faves:<\/p>\n<p>Mac computers; he actually collects older Apple computers<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Computer-related projects<\/li>\n<li>The 1948 Tucker Torpedo and the 1981 Delorean DMC-12 (cars, for those of us not in the know)<\/li>\n<li>Family and watching movies with the fam<\/li>\n<li>Awesome work projects (of course)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Originally from California where\u00a0 his childhood was filled with legos, computers and lots of Disneyland, Mike has great memories of growing up, many involving his father: \u201cOne summer, we built arcade cabinets as well as electronics for classic games like Pac Man and Arkanoid. Each kid in our family now has one in their home. It\u2019s a nice memento of those special times tinkering in the garage.\u201d From those garage days of innovation, Mike went on to graduate from Brigham Young University with an undergrad in engineering.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_427\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-427\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.coastalvectors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/6a00e54fe20d0088330148c8569f4e970c.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-427\" title=\"6a00e54fe20d0088330148c8569f4e970c\" src=\"http:\/\/www.coastalvectors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/6a00e54fe20d0088330148c8569f4e970c-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.coastalvectors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/6a00e54fe20d0088330148c8569f4e970c-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.coastalvectors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/6a00e54fe20d0088330148c8569f4e970c-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.coastalvectors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/6a00e54fe20d0088330148c8569f4e970c.jpg 1394w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-427\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Awesome gaming consoles built by Mike.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p>I also asked Mike why he chose the field of marketing as a career and he responded, \u201cI didn\u2019t decide, it just sort of happened.\u201d His favorite part about working for LIME is the versatility and diversity in the skill sets of employees as well as the projects we do here. Mike hopes to expand his knowledge and skills in graphic design as well as other aspects of marketing and management.<\/p>\n<p>Curious as to what his opinions were, I asked what Mike thought about the development of iPad, iPhone and various other platforms for mobile technology. He responded, \u201cAs much as\u00a0 I love computing, mobile technology almost scares me as I have seen it infiltrate my life and take up time that would otherwise be free. It\u2019s amazing to have the power of these devices in my hand, and access to the world\u2019s knowledge at all times, but part of me kind of longs for the simpler days when connectivity wasn\u2019t so prominent.\u00a0 On the flip side they are a blast to work with and give us more power in our hands then we have ever had before!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Currently, Mike is working on medical applications for Orca MD\u2122 specifically planning, layout and graphical aspects of the Orca \u201cDecide\u201d apps. One of his favorite projects was the first SpineDecide\u2122 app. \u201cWe were treading new territory&#8230;I got a lot of photography experience.\u00a0 It was a great app and has taken things to a whole new level!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Along with\u00a0 these numerous projects, Michael enjoys the many memories from LIME. His favorite was from this last Christmas party when Wes almost slammed 3-D artist Dan\u2019s head into a wall in an ice skating race.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_428\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-428\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.coastalvectors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/6a00e54fe20d0088330147e24d91d5970b.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-428\" title=\"6a00e54fe20d0088330147e24d91d5970b\" src=\"http:\/\/www.coastalvectors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/6a00e54fe20d0088330147e24d91d5970b-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.coastalvectors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/6a00e54fe20d0088330147e24d91d5970b-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.coastalvectors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/6a00e54fe20d0088330147e24d91d5970b-1024x682.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-428\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Did they really just do that?!!!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Needless to say, this will forever stick with Mike and the LIME marketing team.<\/p>\n<p>We are grateful for Mike and his contributions to our marketing team.
