Youtube Premiere

I make my debut on Youtube as my mother, Peggy Chen, on the “Late Afternoon with Dewitt Patterson” show. From the Spring episode performed at the MassArt SIM studio:

SIMventory on its way!

In MassArt, Technology, Web on September 14, 2010 at 9:29 pm

My part-time role now is to assist Max Azanow, the new Studio Manager for the Studio for Interrelated Media (SIM) as Project Manager for the SIMventory project, which involves setting up some new online interfaces for students to browse and reserve equipment. Today, I met with MassArt’s IT director and equipment managers from other departments to assess our needs from WebCheckout. In tandem, I am designing an internal website interface within our SIMsite with our webmaster, Matt Moore. Our internal website will catalog all SIM equipment with photos and user feedback capabilities (which Webcheckout lacks).

Your submission to Proof, the new MassArt retail store, has been reviewed and the Jury has voted to advance your contact information to the Manager of the store. Once hired, the Store Manager will be coordinating with you directly regarding which items will be included in the inventory. I would expect that you will hear from the Manager early this fall.
 
Thank you for your partnership with the College!

Moving On…

In Architecture, Career, MassArt on July 29, 2010 at 10:47 pm

Today, I officially turned in my resignation letter at Payette as Model Services Coordinator and August 20th is tentively my last day. I have worked for the firm for nearly six years, learned much over my time there, and worked on several life-altering projects. Now I break forth, immersing myself into the MassArt community! I will be attending the Studio for Interrelated Media full-time, while working for the department as a consultant and back-up department representative in the Student Government Association. I will also be folded-in with the architecture department in the Solar Decathlon efforts, collaborating with MassArt/MassArt Foundation’s PR and Marketing teams.

Exciting, but still need some freelance jobs to get by. Let me know if someone needs support in some way. I tutor software and web design, also!

This term, I’m taking a Flash Game Design course with instructor and SIM alum, Matt Moore. I just turned in my first design assignment last week:

This is the version I designed based on the files given to us. I made all the graphics, and some minor code tweaks.

This is what we were given. A very basic Brick Breaker game, pre-made by our instructor. Bare bones.
