Who I Am
My name is Abby, and I’m a third-year Robotics Engineering student, maybe looking to do the B.S./M.S. program. I’m a nature photographer from Tampa, FL and I have a Siamese cat named Lily.
Art, My Life, and My Goals
Growing up, art was something I wanted to do as a career, but I quickly realized I liked the freedom of not having to rely on it to make a living or forcing myself to do something that ultimately would make me dread it. It’s my creative outlet and allows the inner child in me to come out and see the world.
Experience
By hobby, I’m an avid nature photographer, and I have around 8 years of experience using professional-grade Nikon DSLR’s. I grew up drawing and have recently gotten into various types of yarn and jewelry crafting. I also have a background in 3D modeling (both organic sculpting and geometric engineering CAD) and 2D animation. I like to consider myself a jack of all trades, making me fairly flexible in terms of media.
My Technological Experience
I’m a Robotics Engineering major, so I’ve done all the projects and labs in the Unified Robotics series. I also have the skills listed below:
Software: Autodesk Certified User; fluent in MATLAB and SolidWorks; proficient in Mathcad, Microsoft Office Suite, Google Suite, ZBrush, Adobe Creative Cloud, Linux, ROS, computer vision, and path planning.
Programming Languages: Fluent in C++, C, Java, HTML, CSS; proficient in Arduino and Python; familiar with JavaScript.
Manufacturing/Hardware Skills: CNC milling, laser cutting, and 3D Printing, soldering, microcontrollers.
My Portfolio:
The badge I am giving you is colorful. The bell tree and the colored pencil like piece are just so colorful and I love it!
Detailed: I am very impressed by how zoomed in you were able to get with some of the bird pictures.
Striking: The photography skills displayed here are amazing, they give me the feeling of actual professional photos of wildlife, the use of composition and focus on the images is impressive.
Familiar: We all see animals and birds everyday, but they are so much more striking when caught in such great detail! Most of my family shares this passion for nature photography.
Clever: The collage style of the pictures and the way they fit together is very cool.
Familiar: I also love to do nature photography, so the “nature” of your work is very familiar to me. haha.
Clever: The pictures of birds show your patience and persistence. Each collage feels cohesive.
Cute: The cats are adorable and I really like the way all the pics in each collage goes together.
Striking: The compositions of birds and animals chosen let each of them be more unique and eye catching than if they were just individual photos.
versatile! you have so many skills and seem to excel in all of them. I love your digital artwork.
