Congratulations to Patrick Bibbins, senior graphic designer in Public Affairs, who's been selected as Children's Hospital Bostons Employee of the Month for August.
After eight years designing hospital publications, creating marketing materials and photographing employees, Bibbins remains as dedicated to his job—and his coworkers—as he was the day after orientation. Scrupulous in maintaining graphic design and brand standards, he treats even the smallest projects with care, delivering carefully considered, artistically rendered and meticulously checked work every time. As his manager says, "his eyes are surgical in detail."
Bibbins draws on years of experience in addition to his natural talent: If the department needs a photo for a publication or brochure, he'll put to use the skills he's learned in photography classes over the years; if someone calls about the proper use of the hospital logo and name, he'll do exhaustive research and make a thoughtful recommendation.
Bibbins patient, paternal nature makes him a natural mentor. He regularly reaches out to interns from local schools, takes them under his wing and teaches them about design while helping them develop their own skills. He's Public Affairs go-to guy when someone has a question about design software, wants to learn how to take a good photo or understand a branding concept. (He'll also show you how to fix a jammed copier or a broken toilet.) There's nothing Bibbins wouldn't do for the hospital: He's designed a new look for Gizmo the robotic courier, created a walking tour map for the Archives Committee and even dressed up as the Curious George character The Man in the Yellow Hat to entertain patients.
