A month or so ago we announced our Polaroid contest where we asked y’all to send in photos for great prizes. We weren’t exactly inundated with Polaroids. In fact, we received only one submission. From a really wacky guy named Jeff Croft.
We liked it so much not only did we decided to declare him the winner on the spot, we gave him a job as well!
All kidding aside, it’s my absolute pleasure to announce that we’re adding the lovely and amazingly talented Jeff Croft to the Blue Flavor family! He’ll be moving out here to Seattle from Lawrence later this summer and we couldn’t be more excited.
For those of you who don’t know Jeff, he’s one of the foremost Web designers in the world right now. I realize that’s a bold claim, but in my opinion it’s true. For the last few years he’s been doing some great things as the Senior Designer for World Online, the creators of the Django-based Ellington CMS and true leaders in the online news space. He’s a talented designer, accomplished speaker, writer and someone who’s got a clear passion for what he does.
He’s also a great guy and pretty much a perfect fit for us. I feel like we got really lucky to be able to talk to him about working with us, and the fact that he’s decided to come out to Seattle and join our team is really remarkable.
Welcome aboard Jeff! We couldn’t be happier to have you!
Huzzah! The Coasts can’t keep their hands off the Midwesterners… congrats to Jeff and Blue Flavor.
Congratulations all around! Does this mean we’ll be seeing django apps out of Blue Flavor?
many congrats! w00t. Quite the talented team getting built out in Seattle.
Drats - I knew I should have submitted a Polaroid. Jeff, this should be your new facebook pic.
Keep an eye on your women, I hear he’s a stud with the ladies…
Oh, and congrats on picking up a kick-ass designer, as well as an “ok” author. This will only hasten my move to Seattle…
Many congrats to Blue Flavor and Jeff. BF is building quite the stacked team.
Congrats to both Jeff and Blue Flavor. me = officially jealous ;)
Thanks, everyone. I could be more excited about this! Although, I have to admit I considered changing my mind when I saw that Keith was going to use THAT picture of me in this post. :)
Err….couldn’t! I meant I couldn’t be more excited. Really, I did!
Fantastic news! Jeff, congratulations on the new opportunity!
Congratulations Blue Flavor and Jeff! This is a huge win for the Pacific Northwest. Next up, Oden and Durant :)
BTW, I’m taller than Greg Oden and I can bench more than Kevin Durant. Just in case you were wondering.
Wow! Congratulations to all!
I’ve already said my congrats, I just wanted to say….
incredible picture. ha.
This is awesome news. Congratulations, Jeff. You’re gonna LOVE the Pacific Northwest.
Welcome aboard—I’m jealous that you’ll be in the office on a daily basis!
Welcome to the left coast Jeff! Congrats all around.
Glad to have you part of the team!
Yay! Go Jeff! :D
Perfect timing too — as it’s still a couple of months until summer arrives in Seattle. ;-)
Congrats to both the crew and Jeff. Its a great fit.
Wow, congratulations. It seems like Blue Flavor is recruiting little by little all the heavy hitters. First Garrett Murray and now Jeff, lol.
Are we going to have to create a Blue Flavor Division in fantasy football this year? :)
Congrats to Jeff and Blue Flavor. I just ran into Jeff at Starbucks. (Their breakfast sandwiches are my secret shame.) By this time next month, I expect y’all to train him to say Fremont was cooler when Still Life was the only good place to get coffee.
