Ergonomic Boom Pole Patent

Here are the original sketches for the product:













Here are some of the completed schematics:

Valencia Community College Graphic Designs

One of the most visible designs I created was the ATLAS logo.
I also created dozens of PowerPoint designs from scratch.






And I was the first web designer available for faculty support.
