Back on the East coast in the summer of 2011—back from Ottawa, Canada, following a bachelor of information technology (IT) at Carleton University and an advanced diploma in interactive multimedia and design (IMD) in collaboration with Algonquin College—then, at an augmented reality (AR) app studio where I was a graphic designer and technical director of animation: I worked with the management team to establish in-house graphic design by Spring of 2012, with the marketing team to introduce a visual identity for the studio, with the development team to optimize graphic art for Unity 3D Engine, and with the Autodesk Maya animation team to re-create characters and models for AR apps for Disney, Mattel, Mazda and more, and it was fun money.
