Resume of Eduard Riehl
Objective and Introduction
I did art and design that connected with people and orchestrated their experience. People do something when you connect with them through experiences that stir their feelings.
Information is not a connection - It doesn't stir people, feelings do. I employed media and interface autonomics and psychonomics, but my focus was connecting with feelings, to move people to act and to orchestrate action by design and artistry.
Summary
I created art and design for print, web and broadcast that orchestrated user experience with UI, illustration and design expertise in imaging, pagination-layout and CSS-XHTML; on Mac OSX platform; with familiarity in LAMP, CMFs, CMSes, AJAX, XSLT, and XML; 3D solids/wireframe modeling, animation, audio and video editing.
Developed and implemented UI for webmail aggregation startup, illustrated for advertising and publications, developed characters and art for print and broadcast media and merchandise properties, created original art for animated media, modeled concepts and rendered visualizations for engineering projects, jumpstarted re-brand OEM's product line (by research, design, rendering, art, and toolable production documentation of product models), redesigned arcade flight simulator, designed interface for medical diagnostic ultrasound.
