design - realized

I want and need to rewrite everything but that's on the back burner for the indefinite future. Meanwhile, please enjoy the following.

• Blog: Adventures in Making. Collection of photos and thoughts. Updated frequently and casually.
• Tumblr: Find it here. A lot of art things, and some not. Updated even more frequently and even more casually.
  
  
• You can get in touch with me by using my spiffy contact page.
  
  
• Quick Bio:
• From Fall 2010 through the end of Spring 2012, I am pursuing non-degree studies at the University of Illinois in studio art and art history.
• I hold a B. Architecture with Honors from the Illinois Institute of Technology, awarded in 2004. After graduation I worked as an architect for five years, gaining experience in every aspect of professional practice. From 2002 through 2010 I studied ceramics through classes, workshops, conferences, and firing opportunities in IL, WI, IN, PA, and AZ. Contact me for more information or a CV.
  
  
• Some Facebook-based galleries for Fall 2010 through Fall 2011:
  
• Studio Works - Crit II, Fall 2010. In a few words, a tableau-based exploration and evolution.
• Studio Works - Crit III, Fall 2010. The evolution continues and I start playing with strangeness and the imagination.
  
  
• Images of earlier work: from the tail end of my time at Lillstreet Art Center, where I studied ceramics, was a TA, and fired kilns.
• Gallery: Ceramics: Ceramic Works, Mostly: Winter-Spring-Summer 2010 Casual photos through a Facebook gallery.
• Gallery: Ceramics: Selections: Spring-Summer-Fall 2009 Continued evolution following NCECA 2009.

• Content in progress: Architecture: Building 13. A $13M design-build renovation of a 1904 bearing masonry building on the historic campus at Great Lakes Naval Base. While employed by the architecture firm that was AOR (and in turn employed by the design-build joint venture), I served as project architect and later acted as project manager. It was an incredible experience, from design through construction admin, that spanned over two years of my career.
