Tina Gibbons is a founding Partner and Production Director at BrandOpus
Once upon a time, not so long ago, on the tip of deepest, darkest Africa, there lived a little girl who one day asked her daddy if she could be an engineer. Her father told her that the world was her oyster and of course she could be an engineer. However, when she grew up, she decided that being a packaging technologist sounded far more glamorous and exciting. So she studied hard and learnt all she could, and threw herself into the packaging industry, working for printers, repro agencies and production houses. Then one day she felt she was ready to take on the biggest challenge yet - working with DESIGNERS! She had heard much about these strange beasts - mostly that they didn't wear shoes and that they drank too much, but she felt sure she could cope.
She has now worked with designers for more than ten years, in a variety of settings, and still finds that her enjoyment of packaging continues, though she has picked up a facial tic along the way...and learnt that designers do drink too much, but wear shoes more often than not.
