Booth Designs

make it quick

   Background in Theater Set Design/Lighting. Partner in Scene Shop in Chicago.

Started "learning the computer" and how cool 3D stuff was. Went to work for

Osgood Displays doing Trade Show Booth renderings because I LOVED it.

Building the 3D models, materials, graphics- it was great. Until Osgood went stupid.

   Then started Freelance things. First I was contacted by Tradis Displays, and

over 2 decades with them. Worked with about 8 different Trade Show Booth

companies, most several years. Sony PlayStation Displays and numerous other

projects for MindsEye Displays. 20+ years with Wells Lamont doing display renderings, Print artwork and what-not. And looking forward to Booth projects at Image Display, Inc.

 

   Big fan of Blender. Before that Ray Dream Designer, Strata 3D/Strata StudioPro. Learned MiniCAD which became VectorWorks. Been working with Photoshop and Illustrator all along. Was early in getting a web site online. Used to love making web sites with Dreamweaver.

 

More recently enjoying playing with making pages on Wix, if a little touchy..
