Hello! I’m Kierstin
inventor. designer. traveller. musician. scrabble enthusiast. amateur numismatic. nerd. other words…
I work at a design consultancy in brooklyn, nyc as a program director. we do cool things.
I use sketchup for interior design, woodworking schematics, invention, and just playing around. Would love to get more proficient (read: faster) so i can have greater applications in my day-to-day.
I’m a beginner (i’ll say) because as in all things, i love to learn, and love to challenge my notions of proficiency and mastery by always starting at the beginning. BUT i have tinkered with plenty a modeling and digital design software/platform, so i am probably more proficient than the ABCs…
This is my FIRST 3DBasecamp and I am BEYOND stoked. Can’t say it plainer than that.
I have a MacPro running Monterey, Sketchup Pro and an Intel Iris Plus Graphics 1536 MB card. I have never actually built or made a machine specified for animation use, but who knows… maybe this experience will inspire change.
I don’t have a warehouse page (i am not generally a “sharer” of my graphical work… until it is exactly as i want it. maybe this bootcamp will make me better about that )
My favorite emoji is because it is the most accurate expression of what i am likely doing 45-55% of the time (i love to laugh). When the interwebs was but a baby and emojis were still catching on, i used to articulate me laughing out loud at something as “als;dkfja;dflkjasdflkasdfl;kjasdf;lk” because i felt it was a good way of capturing the extemporaneous and random nature of actual laughter. (Good thing I wasn’t on the team who came up with acronyms…)
I live: in nyc, but i consider myself a citizen of the world: born in the south, grew up overseas, have passport will always travel
I love: long walks on the beach… in aruba, meeting people, movies, animation/comics, sci-fi anything, people who love sharing what they love, newness, learning, and just about everything
I am passionate about: design as a force for equity, equality and behavioural capacity building, in how create, collaborate and engage with each other to make a better world
I am working on: mustering up the courage to actually defeat all divine beasts and save hyrule before botw2 comes out (i am freaked out by the blood moon, and things jumping out at me) those of you who get this reference, let’s be friends
Looking forward to seeing y’all in a few weeks!
