Career
Still Here, Except Not
So hello again. I feel like we’re strangers again. Let’s start over…
Hi, my name is Kevin. What’s yours?
As everyone and their mother knows, summer is nearing an end and I have yet to write anything about it. This will be a preamble if you will of future posts. First will be a quick [...]
Greetings From Germany!
Hello dear friends, I am writing to you from Munich Germany. It’s day 8 now and it has been a complete blast so far. The culture here is wonderful. There’s so much about Europe in general that makes me happy. More specifically, everything is a lot more cleaner and effiencient here. The train system makes [...]
Life After Graduation
Three weeks have gone by quickly and already so much as happened. Even more exciting are the things that will be coming up. More to come on that later.
Since graduting from the wonderful University of Washington, everything seemed to just cruise along. I’ve moved back home over on the east side and it [...]
A Little Portfolio Demonstration
Created with Paul’s flickrSLiDR.
A lot of people don’t know exactly what I do. What is Informatics? What is Interaction Design? You’re artsy fartsy (wrong, but I do love art, and especially great design). So on and so forth. Well it occurred to me that while I have spent my long summer hours [...]
Applying for Jobs
While I’m still working at my current job at the Center for Environmental Visualization, I started poking around at large companies again. Looking for Interaction Designer or User Interface/Experience Designer at entry level isn’t exactly a common thing. In fact, most cases they have Senior or Director attached somewhere before and/or after the [...]
I Was A GeeXBoX Interaction Design Candidate
This morning I received an email from Celeste Lyn Paul, an incredibly awesome (from what I Googled) usability/interaction designer about the GeeXBoX project sponsored by the Open Usability: Season of Usability 2007 effort. They were inquiring whether I was able to commit 10-15 hours a week on the project as a requirement for consideration. [...]
New Years 2007 & Project 365 Resolution
Every blog and their mom seems to be looking back on 2006. It definitely has been a busy year with lots of different things going on. I say this every year, but each year seems to get better and better. Let’s see if I can break down my own experience for you [...]
New Job At The Center for Environmental Visualization
My internship at Microsoft is nearing an end, which I will write more about later. So that meant I needed to find a new job. Where to begin right? My previous vision included working at Joey’s as a bar back, or bar end making some quick and easy money. Working in a place like that also meant I could meet fun [...]
I Need A Quality Portfolio
*Edit* Speaking of, Google just emailed me about my application for a design position. They want to see my portfolio. Gah! Time to buckle down and make magic happen. I need to respond back “sometime soon.” That’s pretty subjective. Is that like, by Monday? next week? next year?!
Title says it all.
I’ve been meeting with a ton of talented [...]
August Randoms
While I’m still hungover, I find peace in listening to music in my room as the mild summer breeze graces my shoulders. There is honestly not enough Gatorade right now to save my life. One side note really quickly - what is the true differences between Gatorade straight up, and Gatorade Rain? It’s supposed to [...]
