Stunning news out of San Jose last week...
Stephanie Grace Lim in
an undated file photo
Design Director Jonathon Berlin writes:
| Quote: | We are sad to announce that Stephanie Grace Lim is leaving the Mercury News. Steph will lead a team of graphic designers at Ebay's PayPal division -- yep, that's right down the street, so lunch will still be an option. No word on whether Mercury News friends will be able to get a PayPal discount or free T-shirts.
Stephanie has had a momentous impact on the Mercury News over the past seven years. Her energetic eye and LifeStyle covers are a favorite inside and outside the building. Who can resist those googley-eyed squirrels, birds, penguins, robots and Sumo wrestlers? During her time at the paper she's had remarkable work in every section of the paper including a gravestone for the tech boom, a series of artsy squirrels, three years of last-minute wrapping paper and much, much more. She's been awarded for her work from SND, SPD, Print and more.
Steph is a creative force not just here but throughout the journalism community. She had 11 speaking engagements last year including talks in Stockholm and Denmark, Orlando, Miami and Spokane, Wash. She's a beloved speaker in the newspaper design world and this year has branched out to talk to folks in the tech industry, including Adobe and the Community of Digital Artists.
But more than her accomplishments, we will miss Steph for her energy and the general happiness and fun she brings to the newsroom. As features design director she set up a creativity lounge for her group and her "cubicle design" has to be the best in the building if not the world.
We will very much miss Stephanie, but we are excited for her new opportunities. Please wish her the best. Her last day will be in late February. Stay tuned for details on goodbye festivities.
We will fill the position and are looking for someone to lead our features and illustration ranks. Please see me or Matt if you are interested or know anyone who would be a good candidate.

I'm damn near speechless. Stephanie is a true force of nature. The newspaper world just got a little bit bleaker.
If you don't have her personal Web site bookmarked, do it now:

Best wishes, Steph!
