For the past 20 years, I have worked in education. 11 years were spent as a fifth-grade teacher, followed by time spent leading our Innovation Lab, focusing on innovative strategies with a technology focus. Skills I've developed include working with coding, FDM (3d) design and printing, design for laser etching and cutting, filming and streaming, as well as working with iPads in education. In the collegiate setting, I've worked as an adjunct professor developing and leading technology classes at the undergaduate and graduate levels. I have 20+ years experience as a web designer designer. I have a love of clean, elegant styling. I have experience in CSS and HTML for modern websites. I'm proficient in design with Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Audition, Premiere Pro, and Adobe Express. Proficient with the Microsoft suite of products, too.
FDM (3d) printing is a great outlet for my creativity. I enjoy offering printing services, from raw products to finished, painted models. Multi-piece items aren't a problem. If you need 3d design, I can help there too.
