I'm Damien :-) and this is the place on the web where I display some of my work, a resume, some graphic design, and a bit of web and animation work. I am a native to San Diego, but have lived in New York City for nearly ten years. I moved to New York at the age of 19.

I recently completed a year-long certificate program in interactive media (print, multimedia, and web design) and am gearing up for my next career endeavor at Columbia University's School of Social Work, where I hope to start a graduate degree program in multimedia in the fall of 2009.
I graduated with honors from New York University (BA in Communication & Social Justice) in 2001, while I worked as a full time employee for NBC News at 30 Rock.

I have since worked for Estee Lauder's MAC Cosmetics, Inc at their Soho corporate headquarters on Prince Street; I also worked for New York University's School of Law and IT Departments. I recently completed a summer-long consultancy gig with NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical College Columbia University Medical College as a web maintenance designer for some 100 websites.
I hope to get my Master's Degree in Social Work/Multimedia Technology from Columbia University.
