The Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale, Bachelors, Industrial Design
I returned to school after several years in the industry to expand and deepen my software skills used in the industry today. It was a challenge retraining myself to design new concepts and develop them in 2D and also in 3D software. I am very satisfied with my training and having gained competency in these programs, am looking forward to putting them into practice
in creating new and exciting products.
