I was also a designer for the virtual pet website Neopets. Things were really taking off at the time I was working there — the fanbase was amazing, and I was really proud of the work I was creating. My colleagues and me loved going to the mall and seeing our work in high-end retailers like Hot Topic, Claires, and Spencer’s. All kidding aside it was a blast. Even now I love telling people I worked at Neopets and having them realize they had merch I designed.
