I have been working in QuarkXPress and Adobe's full
line of creative software since the late '90s when my father brought
home our first Macintosh computer. As a teenager, I learned the basics
of photo manipulation, layout, and design. Much has changed since that
first computer, but my experience gave me a solid foundation to build
on.
At college while persuing a degree in Media Arts and
Animation, a cross-dissipline degree teaching video, animation, and
graphic design, I had the good fortune to intern on the William Slichter
short film Flourtown:
William Slichter's Flourtown from Pixel Farm on Vimeo.
Beautiful as William Slichter's film was, I found
after graduation that my true passion was for still imagery. Knowing
this, I persued a career in graphic design, picking up whatever bits of
work I could get. Eventually I found a paid internship at Siegel Display
Products. There I learned to apply what I had learned to real-world
advertising and design. At first I worked on small tasks like photo
repair and prepping catalogs for print, but slowly I was given more
responsibility and creative liscense. After six months I was hired on
full-time to be lead graphic designer.
Since then I have worked hard to be the best designer
I can. I have designed promotional matereals for local and national
musicians, designed company logos, and turned even the most damaged and
distorted photos into high-resolution photos ready to be shown proudly
in tradeshows, advertisemens, and catalogs. This is my passion. I love
what I do.
