Oh, hello!A little about me: my name is Evan (of course!) and my specialty lies in creative problem solving. I have a fair bit of experience in the digital design realm creating everything from logo designs and photo manipulations using Photoshop to site plans using AutoCAD to complex digital models and sculpts using 3DS Max, Maya, and ZBrush. Recently though, I've managed to dip my toes into the world of programming with Python, specifically.Interests - Lately, I tend to gravitate more and more towards challenges involving new topics, methods, and software that provide professional growth. I scour articles, threads, and forums looking for answers to all sorts of troubleshooting head-scratchers. Prior to acquiring a taste for programming, my passion lay tethered to the realm of digital arts. The level of creativity one can achieve within a digital medium is just about limitless and everything learned is so inspirational and motivating! Backstory -I stumbled into a fondness for the digital medium inside an old New Mexican community college called CNM. Previously, I had held an interest in CS where I studied a barrage of languages including HTML, XHTML, C++, and Java. However, my interests soon strayed as I found myself eyeing my first Photoshop course. Photoshop gave me a love for the technical side of creativity. I learned how to retouch old photos, modify existing ones and even create my own digital paintings. It was here that I submerged into the digital design pool and had quickly doused myself with the rest of the Adobe Creative Suite. At this point, I was being drawn toward the more technical side of art. I liked programming, but I liked design even more. How could I mix the two fields? Well, it just-so-happened that CNM was advertising a newly developed program called Computer Animation to technical artists! My fate was sealed. About five years later -After graduating from UNM with a BFA in Digital Media and a focus in computer animation, I completed a post-baccalaureate program at UT in Austin. This program was called the DSGA (Denius-Sams Gaming Academy) and I studied leadership techniques within small teams. Ever since, I've been on the hunt for the next exciting position or adventure that will take me to new heights in my technical creativity!
