This week Stephen Coomber of TAXI was our guest speaker. Stephen was once a Sheridan student, having graduated from the New Media Design Program. Upon leaving Sheridan, he was a Flash Animator at Organic for two years. Before starting at TAXI, he was at Young and Rubicam for a short time. Stephen had an inspiring yet realistic view of the design industry. 
Stephen had some valuable advice to share:
1) Have basic knowledge of the industry and who they work with.
2) Find someone to act as your mentor
3) Make yourself known and jump at opportunity
4) Always have control of where your career is heading.
5) Use social media
6) Never stop learning
7) Maintain work relationships
8) Do not take yourself too seriously
9) Always have passion
10) Don't be afraid to say no
11) Document everything!
