Hello fellow people of the internet, my name is Derek, and I’m here to tell you just who I am.

I’ve lived in Oregon almost all my life and traveled to interesting far places like, New York. Hong Kong, and mostly Philippines. I really do love reading Japanese comics called manga and their anime. I joined LCC last fall and at first just doing drawing art related classes and thought about majoring in Graphic Design. I felt most times I spent thinking what I wanted to Major in for sure, but after meeting interesting people about their stories of how they found what they wanted to major in  and talking with my councilor; My conviction lead me to decided to Major into Multimedia.

In my world I used to spend most of my time playing video games and occasionally do a hour run. Now and days, I just don’t play video games, and it feels almost obsolete. Although that doesn’t mean I won’t ever play video games ever again, I will challenge and wish to beat you at a Mario Party game if I must. My hobbies mostly consist of understanding the piano, and I just started recently. I also really enjoy my daily dose of manga/anime, and drawing like american comic/mostly manga style daily consistently for 4 hours. I love drawing and dynamic forms of perspective and seeing other artists drawing style of forms is always fascinating.

For the future I hope to brighten my horizon in the MultiMedia field and find specifically what I will find in life as a job that enjoy as “my specialty”. Hopefully I’ll be able to polish my skills and develop new skills, like understanding Digital Arts. If theres a will then theres a way, and with passion their is progress.

I am not Jean Valjean, but I do enjoy a good musical! My name is Ashley and I was born in Maryland, but I call Boulder, Colorado my home! I love being outdoors. Whether it is biking, hiking, swimming, reading, or just enjoying the fresh air, it brings me joy. Another thing that makes me happy is music. I joined band in 5th grade and absolutely fell in love with it. I started out playing the alto saxophone and then switched to tenor in 7th grade to play in my school’s jazz band! I’ve stuck with the tenor ever since. In high school, I was introduced to the world marching band! My school took second place at state my senior year which was a huge accomplishment for us! This year is my 8th year being in a marching band and every year has brought new friendships and new experiences! It saddens me to think that soon it’ll be over. This Saturday will be our third official performance at a home game and I’m super excited about it! This year looks like it’ll be an exciting one!! I also absolutely love movies, TV, theatre, etc. which is what brings me here!

After discovering that pursuing science wasn’t the right path for me, I realized that there was a place for me in media. It’s only week 2, but I’m already 100 times happier and more excited with my current and future classes! After completing this program, I hope to be able to put my newly acquired skills to good use. I haven’t taken very many classes yet, but Animation and Audio Production have been the ones that have really stuck out so far! I can’t wait to see where this takes me!

My name is Emily Maricle, I am 25 years old, and I am married. I have two big dogs, a Malamute mix, and a Husky/ Australian shepherd mix. Their names are Jekyl and Hyde. I grew up in Chiloquin Oregon, a small town in southern Oregon. I was home schooled until 8th grade and have been working various jobs since I was 10 years old, working at my aunts truck stop and restaurant. I think the most interesting job I had was working at the casino. I was a slot attendant, which means I was the person paying the jackpots. I finally decided to go to school last winter and was excited to find out about the multimedia design program at Lane.

I work at Lifetouch, the national school photography company. My biggest passion is photography, so I was stoked to get an opportunity to work in that field. With Lifetouch its more production photography, so eventually I would like to move into getting paid for more creative photography. I have a friend who is into special effects makeup, so I hope to collaborate with her as much as I can so we can both start building portfolios. I really enjoy doing portrait photography, and fantasy type photography. I also enjoy making jewelry, watercolor painting, really most art related projects. When I’m done with the multimedia program I would love to jump into working on freelance photography, and hopefully find a job doing something to help me express my creative side.
