About Me
I am currently working for a Lafayette company in the AEC industry creating high-end renderings, animations, and other marketing materials for residential and commercial construction.
Graduating from Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, studying Construction Graphics and Programming, I have studied all forms of art and design from traditional to digital. My strengths lie in architectural modeling & rendering, technical illustration, vector imaging, and C++ programming.
Work History
Over the last three years while I have been at Purdue I have been working as a freelance illustrator, a 3D modeler and programmer for virtual reality in the Envision Center at Purdue, and a graphic designer for the Engineering Communications Office at Purdue.
From 1999 to 2003 I was the Assistant Operations Manager for a Highway Safety Contractor creating the strategic planning of day-to-day operations of over 50 unioned employees working throughout Indiana. From 1996 to 1999 I was the General Manager at the Java Roaster Coffee Shop in downtown Lafayette, in charge of operations, hiring, training, and inventory.
