About
Me
I have always been a creative person, but my design career
really began when I started school at the Art Institute
of Colorado. I spent an intensive three years refining my
talent and developing new techniques while at the art institute,
after spending the three previous years in mainstream education.
While at the Art Institute of Colorado I learned more than
I ever thought I would about design and specifically Industrial
Design. I truly enjoyed the time I spent at school. For
my last two years I worked at the school in both the computer
lab and the industial design shop. I graduated the top of
my class and received Alpha Beta Kappa.
After finishing school, I worked for Monigle Associates
where I worked in the industrial design department as a
drafts person and 3D designer. I learned how a design company
functions from concept to presentation. My tasks included
drawing signage for major corporate clients in Autocad,
and linking those drawings to a database. In addition to
working with Autocad, I initiated the companies advancement
to rendering designs in 3D using 3D Studio Max.
The next step in my design career brought me to the University
of Colorado Health Sciences Center where I worked as an
Arts Professional for the Office of Institutional Planning
and Major Projects. The main focus of my position there
was to produce media for the transition from the older main
campus to the new Fitszimons campus. Primarily I produced
maps and graphics that were used for presentations from
the Board of Regents to the contractors working at both
locations. I was also responsible for the identity of the
Office of Inst. Planning including developing a new website
design.
I currently live in Austin where I have spent most of
my working life in the tech industry. While I have learned
a lot from this line of work, I believe that my skills and
talents are best suited for design and the creative industries.
