Let's Get Personal
Hello there, my name is Kevin Wilson, a 23 year-old student graduating from the University of Cincinnati's School of Design (DAAP) in June 2010.
I've always lived in Cincinnati and plan on being here as long as I can. I know people think I'm crazy when I say I love it here, but the truth is Cincinnati is, and forever will be home.
Growing up with a handy father has been, well, handy.
He has been one of the biggest influences in my life. I've always been fascinated with my father's unique creativity when it comes to art and architecture, and following his footsteps through DAAP has served me well.
I'm a low-maintenance guy, enjoying the simple things in life, like a beer and a movie. However, I'm hard-working and driven, trying to get my hands dirty in every way possible, while learning new things. I love tinkering and staying busy, from painting a landscape, designing a logo, installing crown molding, or simply making someone laugh while hanging out with friends and family.
Additionally,I'm fascinated with the internet. I love the challenge of taking aspects from it and making it not only user-friendly, but appealing to the eye as well. The internet has so much potential and room to grow, and I anticipate the approaching opportunities.
I'm seeking a full-time position within the field of design; to find out more about me, please check out my resumé and professional portfolio.
