Post-Grad Life

Though it seems like I’ve fallen off the face of the Earth, I’ve been pretty busy since graduation. I’m hoping to make more regular updates and get back into the creative groove in the coming months.

Soon after returning from vacation, I was offered a graphic designer/marketing coordinator position with a real estate brokerage firm in Boca Raton. I’ve been working on a lot of mapping projects and getting to know Google Earth fairly well. More excitingly though, I’ve been spearheading the development of a new web-based proposal format that the brokers have been using in big client pitches. While the details still need ironing out, the new format has a lot of potential for more engaging and interactive presentations. I have also been interested in developing web apps for the iPad, but that will be a project for the future (Or when the office decides to finally get an iPad).

On a more exciting note, I got my Open Water Scuba Certification in June and have been exploring the coasts of South Florida. I’ve only logged about 10 dives so far, but I’ve learned something new from each and every one of them. Every time I go out, I’m always amazed at how beautiful and diverse the local sealife is. I can’t believe I’ve lived in South Florida for almost all of my life and never discovered any of this before.

DigitalGreg, my dive buddy and boyfriend, recently created a website dedicated to South Florida diving. Naturally, I jumped in on the project with my design expertise and writing skills, and together we maintain SinkFloridaSink.com. The site serves as a resource for local divers, including detailed locations of various dive sites, dive reviews, photos, wildlife conservation information, and other useful links and information. Once I have a studio/office again in a few weeks, I will be redesigning the website as well as taking on some projects that have been brewing in the back of my mind.

Post graduation life has been good to me and I look forward to reporting more exciting news.
