Howdy, I’m Amelie

IMG_0836.jpeg

I’m a designer, and multi-media enthusiast with an old soul. I love hands-on projects, food adventures, and every single jewel tone I have ever met. I hold a Bachelor’s of Science in Visualization with a specialization in Interactive Media* from Texas A&M University and currently work remotely as a product designer. I also freelance as a graphic designer for friends, family, and local non-profits.

I have a passion for educational interactive media experiences and am a firm believer in cohesive & accessible visual language for any scale of project. In a team, I like to work with other forward-thinkers and can step up to a project management position as needed. As a solo designer, I’m always open to new opportunities that ask me to flex different design muscles. No ask is too small; feel free to reach out with any questions!

 *So what in the world is a “BS in Visualization with a specialization in Interactive Media”?

Basically, it’s the most artsy thing you can do at an agricultural and mechanical school. Texas A&M University started the Visualization program as a graduate degree and has since developed an undergraduate program with three specializations: animation, game design, and interactive media (formerly graphic design). While I know my fair share about the other specializations, I consider myself most well-versed and comfortable with the following “Viz Kid” core curriculum and “Interactive Media” specific courses:

  • Interactive Media Studios (x3, with real client experience)

  • Adobe Suite program-specific courses

    • “The Classics” (Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop)

    • XD, AfterEffects, & Audition specific courses, too

  • Graphic Design (at least 4 specific classes)

  • Coding

    • Linux, Python, C++, HTML, CSS

  • and to round out the B.S. – Engineering Calculus (although you should ask an engineer and never me to check your calculations!)

  • 2D Design (Flatworks)

  • 3D Design (Sculpture)

  • Traditional Drawing & Life Drawing studios

  • Art History (Prehistoric through Contemporary)

  • Color Theory (individual directed study with Laurie Lisonbee)

  • Visual Perception and Psychology in Design

  • Writing for Design

  • Glass Sculpture, Printmaking, and Cultural & Architectural Appreciation (Italy Study Abroad)
