Fernando Gutiérrez — Studio Fernando Gutiérrez

Describe the Ideal Candidate in three words

WORK ETHIC STAMINA HUMBLENESS

What’s the most common mistake people make when they apply for jobs? Not researching into who they are seeing or not using a map properly to find my studio.

How important is it for you to see commercial work? I just prefer to see good thinking and how that thinking is applied and executed.

What’s worse — over or underselling yourself? If you don't deliver, overselling yourself.

What’s the one thing a potential employee can do that will impress you? Coming in with ideas (especially on a Monday morning), or getting a mundane job completed in record time.
