Most Notable Professional Positions
2 Years as 3D Visualization Artist and Programmer at HNTB Engineering Company
I was responsible for developing the look of animations for eye appeal. A lot of his involved camera animation and color/effects work to communicate an idea or the mechanical workings of a subject clearly. I also spent about 6 months developing a real-time visualization project whereby Road Models could be exported from CAD and interacted with in a fast 3d environment. This gave engineers the ability to "fly" along a right-of-way path and easily view potential obstacles that would need to be negotiated including terrain shape, utility lines, and existing roadways. This became a unique proprietary technology.
8 Months as Web Designer and Graphic Designer at Breiter Marketing of Mankato, MN
This position was quite beneficial to me as it gave me a lot of insight into marketing techniques as well as a proper mental framework for understanding the differences between advertising and marketing. I also learned the ropes of designing effective materials that communicate a powerful message.
