Available for Hire!
I'm looking for a full-time design job. I work hard and I'm passionate about designing and performing at the highest level possible! Please contact me, or see my web site for my resume and PDF portfolio!
Experience
I trained for two years to be an officer in the US Army. Through ROTC and P/R {The National Society of Pershing Rifles} I gained a sense of discipline, invaluable leadership experience, and the ability to perform with military precision in extremely high-stress environments.

I worked for three years as a design intern with the Lockheed Martin Corporation, and for a short stint with the Rutka Weadock Design Studio in Baltimore. In doing so, I've gained an appreciation for corporate, boutique design, and advertising environments. I'm fully qualified to make an impact with any organization that would give me the chance to do so.

I currently work for Serco North America, as a Military Awards Analyst, at US Army Human Resources Command â€" serving our veterans. In this job, I’ve learned to appreciate the importance of detailed research, and putting the customer first.
Passion
I never chose to be a designer, design chose me. When I was 15, I thought I had received a vocation to attend the Catholic Seminary. During that period, I did a lot of soul searching, asking myself a lot of whys and hows. After conferencing with Father Don and my family, it became clear to me that I was not meant to be a priest. What also became clear is my recognition of my ability to communicate and influence others, my strong will to help others and serve a greater purpose in the world, and my passion for expressing myself creatively. It took a while for me accept the fact that I wasn't going to bring about change and serve others through the priesthood, or (following in my father's footsteps) in the officer ranks of the Army... but through the power of my own creativity. But, I have. I truly embrace design and art as my vocation, and that is where the root of my passion and sense of purpose comes from.

Thank you for adding extra context, in honesty i think the work is interesting, somewhat brave and ultimately worthwhile. So my concern was only that the credibility of the results can come into question when the impartiality of the observer / investigator does. I guess the deeper question becomes whether scientific rigour is actualy to be demanded from something that bridges art, design, social science and so on? ...i don't have a definitive answer for myself on that! What is great though is the attempt to circumvent the normal channels that information flows through, where as you point out there is already a sickening amount of bias and prejudice exercised. So i have to applaud the intent and visual execution whilst questioning the relationships between artists, the media and their audiences in general as much any specifics of your project. Thank you again for taking the time to give a deeper explanation of your work, it's to your credit that you heard criticism in a thoughtful and open-minded manner.

Hi Robert, thank you for the nice reply. I’m totally with you with the message you wanted to convey with your project (a great project indeed!). Even though I agree with you that bias and ambiguity are unavoidable I think a communicator should do as much as he can to avoid bias. Delivering a strong message against war is quite different from “telling THE truth” (it's just one truth) about it. I'm with you for your intent, my only objection was the way you collected data. If you don't mind I'll add you to my circle. =)
