About
Graduated with a BFA in Industrial Design in from the Savannah College of Art and Design. I have worked in contract positions for graphics, printing and design ever since. I have been interested in the design arts my entire life. Music, Video and Film, and Product. I developed my own drive to become more acquainted with graphic arts and their execution through personal desire. I would like to become an integral part of a professionally oriented and creatively free environment. Somewhere that is challenging and cultivates an environment to grow with confidence. I have developed a passion for attention to detail in digital arts. I am growing constantly in my abilities and am looking for an opportunity to express and nurture my talents.
My whole life I have been involved in outdoor activities as well. Such as rock climbing, sailing, kayaking, hiking, you name it, I can love it. I have a very strong desire to continue my life outdoors and improve upon its activities (through art and design.) It is a dream of mine to one day know that I helped to get more people out of their homes and onto their planet. I'm not looking for recognition, just time to continue doing the things I love. -
Education
-
Batchelor of fine arts Industrial DesignSavannah College of Art and Design2002 - 2006After spending two years in a community college following arts and general studies I became aware of the product design discipline. As an innate innovator i was drawn directly to Industrial design. I loved working with my hands and being a part of team projects. I found a natural knack for graphic arts and digitizing and began to pursue these subjects in my final months of school and have continued to follow them and grow my abilities since. I plan to return to school in the future to study graphic design for a masters.
