adding a little design to the world

 

how it started:

I'd escape the real world, doodling anything my little
creative mind could muster. I began with giant cone-shaped crayons larger than my fist.

Also had an unhealthy obsession with my View-Master, LEGOs and a Wooly Willy toy.

In High School - I studied under a wonderfully eccentric woman, Beverly Luciano, who pushed every art student to ponder their limitless potential.

In College - I studied under a talented and intelligent man, Jim Bryant, who launched my creativity into the design world with plenty of assistance learning the core software I'd need.

After College - I had the opportunity to take a photography class under a hero of mine: Joe McNally.

how it's going:

After a promotion in 2016, I transitioned into the engineering department. Began writing, illustrating and designing the technical documents for my current employer (a manufacturer).

I've learned to use CAD software, enabling me to customize and improve our product illustrations.

2020 Update -  Like many others, I've adjusted well to working from home through the pandemic. My productivity has increased by avoiding unnecessary meetings, calls and day-to-day distractions presented in person.
