In my own words
— AdamI am currently a recent graduate (May 2015) from the Shintaro Akatsu School of Design at the University of Bridgeport.
I enjoy being creative and innovative and I love design! I have also always been intrigued about how things work, and being a part of design allows me to explore the other side of the life of a product. Through my education activities and my previous internship with Jaywalk Studio and Fabrique, Ltd, I have experience in utilizing various design programs and tools into the design process. I am looking forward to the challenges that are ahead as I continue to search for a start to my professional career.
