The gallery provides some information about the media and process involved in each piece. There are a variety of different methods used; a mixture of 2D, and 3D and analog and digital media. The work shown is a small sample of my creative output starting from my first years at art school, 1994, through my current professional career.
I have a B.S. degree in transportation design from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California. I have been working at Honda R&D Americas, Inc. since 1997, working on concept and production vehicles for Honda and Acura. My job includes many aspects of the design process: computer modeling, idea sketching, market research, project management. It is a fun career and a childhood dream acheived, but it is hard work.
