Member Spotlight: Meilen Gevedon

Author: Tazren Talamar, April 2011

Well, the more recent creations at least have been the work of the Department of Marketing, with Meilen Gevedon of the Blue Ajah in the lead as Director. Before she was Director of Marketing – before there even was such a department – she was the Visual Resource Lead, which means she was responsible for providing all graphics that the site required. Now she has, and I quote, "a bunch of crazy people who are fun to work with", and they're all contributing in various fashions.

Meilen runs her department with a "whoever wants to help and knows how to, can"-style, as she herself expressed it. She doesn't only direct her minions, and they do more than grunt work; they work together as a group, she says. And they have a lot of fun. Marketing is, it seems, a really great place to work.

Some of the things that Meilen has done personally are the memory books for the 10th Anni and the graphics for the Japan fundraiser and the Feast of Light drive. Various people on her team have worked on the layout for the scholarship certificate, the twitter page background, the 10th Anni logo and it's also her department that posts the news on the main site. Those are just a few examples of what we have to thank Meilen and her department for.

When she is not heading her department and hanging out in #wheel, Meilen enjoys playing video games such as Silent Hill and Final Fantasy (she's an avid fan of the latter). She is also a student of graphic design – in fact she's going to graduate very soon – and she has two part time jobs in that field.

If you'd like to meet Meilen in real life, that might pose a bit of a problem, as she supposedly resides in magical land in another dimension and has only decided to temporarily grace our realm with her presence.
