I graduated from the University of Illinois at Chicago in May, 2009 and am currently looking for full time work as well as doing freelance projects. My degree is in Industrial Design, but I do graphic design as well. Recently, I have been doing graphic and web design as well. If you have a prototyping job to be done, I have a lot of experience prototyping ranging from fome-core to building silicone molds from SLAs and shooting urethane parts for testing, as stated in my resume.
