I am a Senior User Experience Designer at Autodesk, based in San Francisco. My area of responsibility is Rendering and Design Data. Design Data includes the interoperability between Autodesk 3D applications and 3ds Max, among other things. I'm originally from the Chicago area, and have a background in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering, Computer Programming (numerous languages), and management. Before joining Autodesk I had a Design Visualization company with my son, and then worked for a large architectural firm as the Director of Design Visualization, also with my son. I taught 3ds Max, AutoCAD, Revit, Inventor, and Fusion 360 at the community college in may 'spare' time. I live in the East Bay area with my daughter.
