FEATURED ARTIST:
Tim W
Puget Sound, January 2010 2009
Tim is an energetic designer who loves to explore the possibilities of what he can create-- and it all started with some Legos.
Ask at what point he got his foot in the door in the creative industry, and Tim will tell you it started the moment he picked up his first Lego. Following his passion, Tim earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Industrial Design and has continued to diligently study and create environments, products, and interactions for software and the web.
Tim’s expertise includes graphic design, product brainstorming and production, 2D and 3D model and prototype building, identity packaging and implementing human factors knowledge into user interface design. A strong collaborator and independent worker, Tim is also adept at integrating research into product development. Tim’s desire to continue learning emerging technologies keeps his perspective fresh and his work cutting edge.
Tim finds renewed inspiration from simply observing and talking with people. He looks up to cartoonist and comic theorist Scott McCloud because of his ability to present complex ideas in a simple fashion. If he had to choose a different career path, Tim says he’d love to work in a ski resort or national park somewhere. And though he’s well-versed in the nuances of technology, Tim isn’t at all reluctant to admit that to this day, he still likes to play with Legos.
