New Media
Computer Science
Graphic Design
My Computer Science minor gave me the programming experience I needed to really get started with web design within the New Media program. Graphic Design provided me with practical design skills and best practices in the design world. New Media is where the two sides met. In this program I focused in user experience design and web development, and got to work all kind of tools, from Arduinos to Laser Cutters. A significant component of the New Media program is “learning how to learn.” This is in the effort of keeping us always ready to work with whatever new technology surfaces in our lifetime.
spring ’15 to fall ’16
ASAP Media Services is a UMaine student-operated research and development company. ASAP is where a really learned how to code websites. It gave me the opportunity and motivation to learn skills like css, html, and javascript on my own, and puts those skills to work with real clients.
summer ‘16 to present
I was an summer intern in 2016 for Redfin Solutions, a Drupal web development company in Portland, ME. I learned a lot there, from Sketch to Sass and JQuery, and got to do both design and development for them. I still do work for them remotely while in my senior year of college.
