After leaving Nomad Airstream, I reopened my studio full-force. With new skills in business and leadership, I have developed a more structured and productive work flow. My projects this year have focused on illustration, corporate identity and website design. Clients include Sassy Images, Villari Martial Arts Studio, Espos Diesel, local bands, and countless private commissions to name a few. I have also began a line of T-shirts on Design By Humans.

STRENGTHS INCLUDE:
+ Speed with working, while retaining high level of quality.

+ Managing multiple projects in completely different fields.

+ Would love for more changes to work 3D into designs and to continue building my logo portfolio.

In charge of landing potential clients with concept drawings and project proposals. Saw projects from beginning to end by creating full structural and design technical drawings, researching and ordering materials for the interior design, close work with the general and project managers to complete tasks according to blueprints, overseeing work done by the whole team to the last detail. Worked directly with clients to ensure their needs were being met, and that every decision was properly approved before being executed.

STRENGTHS INCLUDE:
+ Selling concepts for large projects, versus a finished project, since we started from an empty Airstream shell and didn't have anything physical to show them right off.

+ Turning typical layouts (for living quarters) into bars, stores, and other commercial or high-end living spaces.

+ Working with extremely limited, confined, and constantly changing elements. The variations in size, shape, and the condition of each model of Airstream brought in posed new challenges to overcome project to project.

+ Multitasking since we had multiple projects at various stages happening simultaneously.

While completing my Bachelors, I opened my own studio to work for people all over the country. Clients resided in NYC, upstate New York, and California. During this time I re-branded a nursing home facility, created a corporate identity for a tutoring company, produced a hip hop album, and began working on Airstream designs.

STRENGTHS INCLUDE:
+ Multitasking across several artistic platforms with overlapping deadlines.

+ Working with directors and owners of companies directly. As well as experience working with the print studios we used who specialize in paper, vinyl, cloth, or 3D mediums.

+ Strong work ethic, problem solving skills, and focus needed when managing ones own schedule.

While attending SUNY I worked through the graphic design department and school Museum where I created promotional material for the Rockwell Kent Gallery.

I also designed posters and advertising for local events or school functions. This gave me my first real taste of working digitally and applying it to a career type setting.

A summer job working at a camp for children with diabetes. I was in charge of the entire art curriculum for the camp for the duration of a summer.

My biggest undertaking was to create lesson plans for the ages of 6 to 16. I was in charge of the art department, all art related activities, and advertising or setting up events held numerous times a week for the duration of employment.

STRENGTHS INCLUDE:
+ Managing staff and explaining directions to masses of children at one time.

+ Planning and execution of schedules and classes for a camp full of people.

+ Strengthened my on-the-spot thinking and innovation skills when working with limited resources and a barely-there budget.

Designed websites, retouched photos, tweaked or fully created brochures, advertisements, and signage for Media Central clientele.

An intense eight month program where I learned 3D Autodesk programs like Maya and Mudbox, studied animation production pipelines, and was introduced to the inner workings of the film industry. This resulted in the ability to build a 3D computer animated film from concept and story boarding through to post production and final rendering.

I excelled most with the concept and creation of models and environments, including 3D modeling, texturing, and lighting. Currently teaching myself Zbrush.

::: Greatly improved my 2D abilities in illustration and design from the new perspectives I learned to work with and the extremely rigorous schedule we were on. This resulted in more dynamic compositions, a higher level of quality in my pieces, and faster work flow overall.
