skills

I am interested in the fusion of the analog and digital worlds, with special emphasis on the cracks and crevices of both the advantages and disadvantages of each technology. Whether the technology is the trusty sign marker or Uni-Bal pen, or the physical model, or a computer rendering, each technology fills a needed niche and must be exploited. Seemingly incompatible technologies should be combined to form an unique methodology of workflow. In other words, multimedia is an important attack strategy.

  • Physical Models ability level 0-5: 4

  • Watercolor / Marker Rendering ability level 0-5: 4
  • Design ability level 0-5: 4
  • Project Management ability level 0-5: 3
  • Construction Administration ability level 0-5: 3

Note

Are you a perspective employer? A fan? Or just someone who likes paper copies of resumes? Well, you can download an Adobe .pdf version of this resume [95K], or just try hitting print preview on your browser - most of the newer ones do this - and you can see that this page prints out really nice! What is the secret, you ask? Multiple stylesheets that alter the same content depending on what you view it in. Neat huh? Definitely, "Better living through chemistry" indeed!
