Professional

I'm a multi-disciplinary designer and media producer working in the Silicon Valley. I pride myself with the ability to work creatively with a variety of digital mediums. My professional career started in 2001 with a graphic design internship at SRI International. Since then I have been helping various companies and non-profit groups express themselves online and in print. In 2006 I cofounded Bit Industries - a freelance collaborative.

Academic and Cultural

In Fall 2007 I graduated from San Jose State University with a BFA in Digital Media. I augmented my fine arts education with computer science and Radio/Television/Film courses. There I was highly involved with the CADRE Laboratory For New Media. It was through CADRE that I was able to get a web intern position with the Zero1 festival and ISEA (Inter-Society for Electronic Artists) 2006 symposium. I have had academic work featured in SWITCH (a well known new media art journal).

In 2007 I was selected to be the primary assistant to world renowned digital artist Camille Utterback on a large scale public art project.

Skills

My list of software skills include but are by no means limited to:

Design Apps: Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash
Video Production: Premiere, AfterEffects
Programming/Scripting: Java, HTML, CSS, ActionScript 2 & 3

Personal

When I'm not pushing pixels around you can usually find me out doing one of these things:

Watching hockey or playing hockey
Listening to my vast music collection
Being a tea snob
Playing lots of video games (I love strategy and MMO games!)
