Work Experience
ImaginEngine
2D/3D Artist: February 2011 - Present
At ImaginEngine, I wear a lot of hats. My responsibilities include making concept/2D art, creating or editing models and animations, UI development, reviewing work from outsource teams, and optimizing levels.
Everyscape / SuperTour
Production Studio Lead: April 2008-January 2011
I co-managed a studio of twenty people, and still created a decent amount of their creative content. At our busiest time,
I oversaw a queue of 2500 photographs. By keeping the rest of the studio on task and producing at the highest quality
possible, I ensured that requests for jobs or edits from our sales team were processed in time for our next deployment. My ability to organize a large queue as well as motivate my team members, brought our production cost from $150 per image to roughly $25 an image. Lastly, I was a liaison between our studio, engineering, sales, and upper management.
Everyscape / SuperTour
Senior Studio Member/World Builder: July 2006-April 2008
Everyscape / SuperTour builds virtual tours for various properties, and/or entire cities. I generated much of the content, which included digitally enhancing our panoramas, and creating the morph transitions between areas. I was also responsible for much of the webpage creation for private companies. As a senior studio member, I consistently met my quotas and deadlines on time and was one of the top two producers in the studio.
Advanced Technology & Manufacturing Center
Animator/Web Page Design: January 2006-May 2006
I created a Submarine On Board Training program. I designed many layouts and animations as well
as doing most of my action scripting.
Zographix
Intern/Jr. Designer: Summer 2005
For this graphic design company, I designed logos, posters, flyers, and mailers. I also helped develop identity and branding for a variety of budding or existing companies, including Harvard Pilgrim, cgMagazine (published), and Spirolls.
Mill Metals
Receptionist: June 2002 - Aug 2005
I was a receptionist during the summers while I attended college. My responsibilites included answering a multi-line phone, balancing a register drawer, filing paperwork, and customer service. I reduced a 9 month backlog of filing to nothing in three months during the first and second summers of my employment there.
