Howell Liberatore & Associates, Inc. (HLA) has added two full-time employees to its art department, hiring Eric Parks and Andrew Philpott as graphic designers. Parks first became involved with the HLA team in September 2013 as a freelance production artist. Impressed by his knowledge, dedication, perseverance, and design capabilities, HLA brought him on as a full-time production artist in February 2014. Prior to joining HLA, Parks interned at Mountain Home Magazine. He graduated from Mansfield University with a bachelor’s degree in graphic design, with an emphasis on print. Philpott graduated from the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) with a bachelor’s degree in graphic design. He brings a modern approach to digital/web, mobile, and print design to the agency. Philpott was first brought on as a graphic design intern for two terms and impressed HLA with his creative approach, illustration talents, and design ideas.
