Moved to the central coast of California working as a contract designer for several companies doing graphics, advertising, Web design and 3D work.

2000 to 2002

I served as Lead Multimedia Instructor for Platt Design College of Newport Beach. During my tenure at the college, I redesigned the interior of the Multimedia Room, then spent many off-duty hours painting and remodeling the room, creating a very high-tech visual appeal, complete with surround stereo and audio visual display. The curriculum included courses in Lightwave 3D Animation, Video Production with FinalCutPro [including storyboarding, shooting, acquisition of digital video, editing and output to DVD], Motion Graphics in Adobe After Effects, Web Design in Macromedia Dreamweaver, Web Animation in Macromedia Flash. Final course was designed to bring all student projects [printed and interactive] into a final project, producing an interactive CD-ROM in Macromedia Director for use in soliciting design positions upon graduation. This was one of the most rewarding experiences in my career.
