    I think coming from an agency will be a benefit for you out of the gate. One thing that I rarely see as I interview designers for various in-house positions at my company is energy. Most lack energy to a point of seeming lethargic (due to nervousness, or maybe they're simply too junior to be an effective interviewer).

    Mark Horstman, a former recruiter who has interviewed thousands of candidates and is now an interview consultant says, "Recruiters will accept 90% less ability if someone possesses 10% more positive attitude."

    You seem knowledgeable, well-spoken and genuinely passionate. If those qualities can come out in the interview, you'll have no worries.

    Good luck.
