about me
Hello, my name is Brad, and welcome to my brand new portfolio website!
This is where you can see all my best work from the past few years and present. I invite you to look around, and if you have any questions, comments, or job offers, or drop me an email.
My educational training at Rochester Institute of Technology has given me a strong background in three-dimensional design. I have turned out products ranging from chairs, to golf bags, to toys, always emphasizing originality, uniqueness, and functionality, while still striving for physical beauty. Class projects, both simulating and creating real client interaction have allowed me to gain a better understanding of the necessity of client/designer communication.
I also have extensive experience in both model making and various CAD programs. The projects completed not only involved model building, but also 2-D presentation boards in order communicate my ideas. I have, very recently, been hired by my Synagogue to design a piece of functional furniture for use in services. My Industrial Design major, in addition, is coupled with a concentration in Sociology which has provided me with the ability to understand consumer strategies, as well as societal attitudes.
As well, I've had considerable professional experience in web design. My earliest was for the international video game corporation, SNK NeoGeo, and involved the cooperation between me and two other partners in all aspects of the production of a game related website. I was fully in charge of layout and design, while my two partners covered the programming aspect. This was executed in very close quarters, under time constraints, and with only minimal oversight. Work with the same client, as well, included a design for their main website.
Currently, I am working on a website design, and album cover/8 page insert for a small record label named Young American Recordings. Again, I am designing and executing all graphic applications for the company. This has taken place over the course of the past few months, working closely with the company CEOs and band. I am incredibly hungry for work, and would do pretty much anything to get my foot in the door, so take a look around!
