what I do at work

Lots of people have been asking me about what I've been doing at work and if they can see some of my projects. I've posted some of the pieces I've done on my online portfolio but I thought I would use this space to show some work in progress or photos of my work at the events they were made for.

I work for the New Mexico Office of Border Health which is a division of the New Mexico Dept of Health's Public Health Division. Basically what that means is I do a lot of graphic design and web work for health promotion events.

One such event is the Families & Youth Inc Back to School Rally. I was asked to create a full color poster for this event and this was the original version of the poster I made. The final version is posted here. The finished posters were double sided with English on the front and the Spanish version on the back.


Another one of my job responsibilities is to create, redesign and touch up the web pages that exist under the sphere of Border Health. My main responsibility is to the actual Office of Border Health website which is yet to be brought into existence, but I'm frequently asked to help out with the Region 5 websites. Region 5 is a district along the Mexico/New Mexico border. This is an image featuring the new intranet page I designed for them.

I'll probably be posting more content showing the Office of Border Health homepage when it comes closer to being finalized.

Eggo Burger!

Now that I'm living alone, lots of people have been joking around with me because they assume I can't cook. I can. ...but sometimes it's fun to eat food no one else would normally eat... Like this plate I made today. A friend of mine named Jay Newman came up with this hamburger idea at a tailgate. It's basically two waffles (blueberry in this case) with a hamburger patty inside of it. I added some lettuce, tomatoes and peppers to be healthy. Gotta have your fiber you know.

My First Billboard

This billboard was put up earlier this week near the freeway. It is for a health fair event that my work is putting together. One of the sponsors of the event took it upon themselves to create billboards and this is one of them. I should say that I didn't actually layout the design for these billboards but they did use the logo I created for the event. There are two billboards up in the city. One of them is on the westside by the Sunland Park Mall (that's this one) and the other is on the eastside by Cielo Vista Mall. I saw the eastside one by accident today while I was driving around with my Dad. It was a pretty cool surprise!

Batmobile Project Continues...

The "Bouncy Batman" Shader

Utility Harness and Bat Symbol

I made these based off of the Batman Begins body armor and the Tim Burton cape and cowls. But when I posted them this morning I found this new version, so who knows, maybe I'll redo this project sometime later on.
