Finding that three dimensions are more fun than two, I started making signs when I graduated. I then spent three years as a designer and fabricator at a small shop in Anaheim, with only myself and two thirty-year veterans. I built electric signs and channel letters from raw steel and sheetmetal, designed and made the vinyl graphics and plastic sign faces, and installed electric signs high on buildings. This year I took a position as the head designer for Signs and Services Company. We have several national accounts, we make the signs for Dodger Stadium, and I am having a great time. Except that now when I climb something I don't get paid, and I don't get to hit stuff with hammers.

For the first two years after graduation, I worked from home mostly free bonus for my church; then I started working at Rita B. & Company in Visalia, California as a Graphic Designer and now I've become senior Graphic Designer. I'm in charge of all the print design and I've been working with great copywriters. I am enjoying meeting people from Visalia. It has been fun. I built recently a home with Centex which I enjoyed.

I have spent the last 3-4 years back in my hometown Stockton, California. Shortly after graduation I was working part time for J Walter Thompson in San Jose and with a local non-profit organization. The last two years have been spent at San Joaquin RTD, the bus company for the San Joaquin Region. I am SJRTD's first and only graphic designer, which has been a great place to get my feet wet. It's pretty neat seeing a bus drive around with your artwork! I am also pursuing my education. I am presently attending Cal State University, Stanislaus for my teaching credential in Art, and have plans to work towards my MFA in graphic design at the CCA in San Francisco. (Keep your fingers crossed...I'd like to wind up teaching college!)

I moved to Denver and work at the North Metro Denver REALTOR Association as head Graphic Designer and Event Planner. I have held the position for three years and am really enjoying it. The events include a golf tournament, Inaugural Banquet, Holiday Breakfast and Shopping Expo, New Home Expo, and A Grand Opening for our new building. I design all the marketing materials for the events and the four to five continuing education classes we hold monthly. I also do a monthly newspaper and just finished a new corporate identity system for our new office.
