The very first woman hired at Click, Sam is the artistic soul of the agency. <\/strong><\/h1>\n

Here is her story :<\/strong><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thom : How did you discover design as a vocation?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Sam :<\/b> I think I\u2019veI always known it was something I wanted to do: I\u2019ve been drawing since I was little. My mother used to paint a lot, I took painting lessons, drawing lessons, sculpting lessons. I\u2019ve always loved it but I didn\u2019t know exactly in which field to go into.<\/span><\/p>\n

I thought about going into illustration, doing cartoons, and things like that. But I had a teacher in High School who came in once with a bunch of brochures from Colleges and Graphic Design courses. He showed me what it was all about. He\u2019d done a ton of research! I think his name was Robert.<\/span><\/p>\n

T : Well thank you, Robert!<\/b><\/h3>\n

S :<\/b> Yes! I was instantaneously interested and attended Cit\u00e9 Coll\u00e9giale once I graduated High School. That\u2019s how it all started for me. I\u2019ve been passionate about it and haven\u2019t looked back since!<\/span><\/p>\n

T : So we owe a debt of gratitude to your mother and Robert! If we continue with your <\/b>origin story<\/i><\/b> : how did you get started at Click?<\/b><\/h3>\n

S: Once again, thanks to a teacher. My Web teacher, Jasmin, had been in the same class as Gab, our co-founder. He referred me to him since he knew Click was looking for Graphic Designers. I remember meeting Gab at a Moca Loca caf\u00e9 in Gatineau. I ordered a green tea but didn\u2019t even touch it – I was so nervous! As it turned out, everything clicked instantly and I\u2019ve been with Click ever since!<\/span><\/p>\n

T : Wow! Another cool story! You\u2019ve been one of the OGs to work remotely from Gatineau. So you\u2019ve seen all the personnel changes?<\/b><\/h3>\n

S : <\/b>Yes, I was actually the first hired employee! I think I may even have been Gab\u2019s first interview! It\u2019s also been weird at the same time because I hadn\u2019t met anyone in person before this year! Aside from Gab and Oli, our co-founders, the team is completely different from when I first started.<\/span><\/p>\n

T : What aspect of your job are you most passionate about?<\/b><\/h3>\n

S : Of course I love designing! I like having such creative liberty: I can always create something cool and suggest things to clients. It would be a lot less fun to have to work on things I didn\u2019t enjoy but as it is, I\u2019m proud of the designs I present to clients and I\u2019m really passionate about them.<\/span><\/p>\n

When I started at Click, I was working with my own clients on the side focusing a lot on logos, page formatting, and that sort of thing. You\u2019d think that you would have more creative freedom and that\u00a0 it would be more fun to design logos than it would be to come up with ads with Click but actually, the opposite is true!<\/span><\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t enjoy designing logos. Mostly because clients were so specific in what they wanted: they would find pictures on the internet and wanted them replicated. Whereas at Click, our clients trust us and give us the creative freedom to be our best. It\u2019s so much fun!<\/span><\/p>\n

T: My next question is: what has been your experience as a woman in this industry?<\/b><\/h3>\n

S :<\/b> It\u2019s something I\u2019m super proud of. Now, I\u2019m not the only woman in my department. I\u2019ve seen the hiring process for new employees: at first I was the only one, then we hired Myrna (another one of the first Click hires). I remember being so upset when she left because she was the only other woman at Click at the time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

From then on we started hiring a lot more women and that was something that I was really excited to be able to share.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, there are many of us and we\u2019re a diverse group. I think that\u2019s really cool!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I know there are many women graphic designers. It\u2019s not an area that is necessarily just for men – there\u2019s always been women involved: even 20-30 years ago, my mother-in-law was a graphic designer.<\/span><\/p>\n

T : If you had one wish over the next 5-10 years, what would it be?<\/b><\/h3>\n

S : <\/b>Within the profession, I\u2019d of course love to help Click grow. I\u2019d like to take a more important position, take on more responsibility, and master everything relating to graphic design. I\u2019d like to continue evolving beyond design into something like Artistic Director! There\u2019s a long way to go and lots of work to be done, but sure in 5-10 years, I think that\u2019s something that\u2019s realistic and it\u2019s something that I\u2019m working towards!<\/span><\/p>\n

T : I certainly wish you the best, Sam!<\/b><\/h3>\n
