AUSTRALIA

I'm aiming to travel to Australia for November 13th and stay for about 8 months. Until then, I will be updating my portfolio so I can apply for jobs while I'm away and hopefully set something up for when I return.

BACK TO SCHOOL

School has started up again and I am in full swing for my last semester, taking 5 electives to finish up my degree. Because I only have to take electives this year, I decided to take some courses that would build on the skills that I already have, such as Interface Design, Materials in Design, Interactive Video, and Graphic Design. I also decided to take an introductory course in Spanish to see how I would do at a third language.

After running my portfolio off of temporary ftp for far too long, I have finally purchased dariangrant.com and I am now in the process of transfering all the files over. I will be constantly adding new projects to my website as I continue to work on this ever-growing portfolio of mine.
