03:32 I am overwhelmed with the new terminologies
04:02 Everyone at MAG was so supportive
04:23 There is no judgment that I came in with nothing!
04:35 Surprised that they valued my ideas and my perspective
04:44 They’ve asked me to join the Creative Team upon learning of my artistic background
04:50 I am now actually the Creative Team Lead
04:56 I have learned so much that I would never go back!
05:14 I’d recommend MAG to anyone that takes pride in their work
05:33 I hope you’d join our team here at MAG
