So, its about time i publicly announced this. I’m going to be leaving de-construct. I’ve been with the company since its creation, as one of the founding members, about six and a half years ago. We started the agency as a group of seven who’d just all lost our jobs at previous agency deepend, due to the collapse of the company. We decided we all still wanted to work together, and...
