I love bringing out the life within the character, and using animation to connect with children and adults alike. My main goal is to work with others to make a positive difference in the animation community.

Fort Wayne, Indiana
|
| Art Director / Contract Graphics Artist Job Duties:
Logo Design / Visual Identity, Conceptual Development / Illustration, Animation (Object), Web Design / Logic Layout,
|
|
Software Used: Photoshop, DreamWeaver, Flash, FTP, Illustrator, HTML
|
| Summary: Responsible for graphic design in promotional and tradeshow/conference materials, branding development, business media, Flash animation (for event invitations and corporate screensavers), and web graphics/navigation for both CVC and its clients.
What started as a freelance graphics opportunity in June 2006 grew into a rewarding relationship experience (promoted to full-time Art Director by September 2006). Was given heavy responsibility in aiding the team by fulfilling client needs in iconic branding and identity design, animated video graphics, interactive web graphics, signage, and layout/print design work. Fantastic creative role in a busy environment; diverse team and broad business interests. Continued relationship remotely/contractually as of mid-March 2007 when I relocated to another state and focused on my Animation Mentor classes (animating using Maya). |
