I will be graduating from the University of Kentucky, College of Design in May of 2008.
My degree will be a five year Bachelor of Architecture degree. I have concentrated on digital
visualization in design, and have become proficient with a variety of 3D programs. In my
current position I work extensively in a team with many graphic and 3D programs on a daily
basis producing digital content that is used around the world and web graphics seen by
thousands of online visitors. Other responsibilities have included creating tutorials, research
and development for production processes, documentation, and testing. I am also proficient
with many office type programs. I have held management positions, and other positions that
have trusted me with a variety of responsibilities.
I want to create worlds. I love the virtual environment, new technology, and learning new
things. I learn as much as I can as often as I can. I like to find better ways of doing things,
often teaching myself new tool-sets to do so. In my personal time I love to read, to meditate in
silence, and to experience nature, as well as watch movies, and play video games. I listen well,
learn quickly, and work productively. I practice martial arts, and like to ride my bike to work. I
especially love poetry, and architecture, which to me are the same thing. My goals are aimed at
finding new ways to think of, and create, architecture and design. I love to work in the freedom
of digital media, as well as the feel of pencil on paper. Process interests me because it is so
dynamic to each project and each designer. Creating greater accessibility to architecture and
design, both understanding and experience, is a personal passion and a long term goal.
