Q LTD isn’t just young at heart, it's young at staff, too.

The Ann Arbor-based firm recently added another person to its ranks, rounding out its office to 12 people. That new employee is described as a "young designer" who can help reinvigorate the consulting and design firm.

"We thought that was important to keep up the energy of our company," says Christine Golus, vice president and creative director for Q LTD.

Q LTD is close to hiring yet another person and expects to bring in another 1-2 people in the near future. The company also has a satellite office in San Francisco and works closely with a design firm in Germany. That's a lot of geography for the little A2 marketing and design firm.

Q LTD also just signed a contract to handle Yale University's Computing and the Arts program. They will develop the brand identity for this new interdisciplinary research and educational initiative. The idea is to establish brand voice, identity and Internet presence to support an effective marketing and fund-raising foundation for the program.

Yale's Computing and the Arts initiative integrates computing science and a specific arts focus drawn from art, history of art, music, drama and architecture. The initiative is based on the belief that the next generation of computing technologies will be inspired by the arts.

"It helps our growth because it's outside Ann Arbor and Michigan, and it's a world renowned university," Golus says.
