OBJECTIVE
to develop a career as a new media designer.
EDUCATION
Lethbridge College School of Media & Design 2009
The School of Media & Design at Lethbridge College offers an intensive two year Multimedia Production diploma program. The program highlights graphic design, modeling and animation, programming, video editing and compositing, and my favourite - web design and development. I was very determined and motivated throughout my schooling at Lethbridge College. Many of the projects were exciting and challenging. I graduated from the program on April 25th, 2009 with honours. During my years at the college I was also a member of Phi Theta Kappa Honour Society, Alpha Omega Epsilon Chapter.

EXPERIENCE
Managed Internship with Web Services 2009
In my second year of college I was given the opportunity to work with the Web Services team at Lethbridge College for four months to complete a managed internship. My responsibilities consisted of working with clients (various college staff and faculty), editing and updating specific college pages, creating an e-Newsletter template for Human Resources, customizing ListServ 1.5 with the use of CSS files and template files, editing, compressing, and uploading video footage to the website, designing a feature ad for the homepage; updating the forms site. One of the major tasks I was assigned involved customizing and editing the Applicant Tracking System for Human Resources.
stylemaines.com 2009
A site created for a Maine Anjou cattle breeder in Saskatchewan. The main focus of this site is to showcase images of award winning sires as well as bulls that are for sale. Viewers of this site are able to view photos of bulls they may want to purchase from Style Maines. This site has been an effective and successful marketing tool.
timberlostoutfitting.com 2009
This website targets hunters across the world (primarily Canada and the US) who want to hunt whitetail deer and black bear. Timberlost Outfitting is a Saskatchewan hunting outfit located between Big River and Leoville. This site is mainly informational, but also has a photo and video gallery which is a great viewer attraction.
jetseedprocessing.com 2009
I originally created this site as part of my Capstone Project which included a brand new visual identity for the company with various design elements. This site informs farmers across the prairies about the portable seed cleaning outfit, and highlights ergot cleaning. Creating Jet Seed Processing’s website was a wonderful learning experience with Joomla 1.5. Content Management Systems have many advantages for website owners; they make it simple for the user to login and edit information in a time efficient manner.
jaidesigns.com 2010
Jai Designs has been created for a talented interior designer and artist based out of Regina, Saskatchewan. This has been both a fun and challenging project. Planning and collaborating played a huge part in this project as we went through many different design mockups.
