I am currently working for a rapidly expanding online advertising agency. Most of my waking hours are spent thinking of edgy concepts and creating RICH-AC ads. I enjoy it a lot because we get away with ideas, images, and headlines that would never make it to press in the print world. Plus, when you at a near burnout pace there is never time to get bored with a particular project. I'm also trying to make time for a couple of freelance web design projects and a little 3d modeling work here and there. My portfolio site (which needs to be updated) is www.thadankenman.com

description: Designing various print pieces for property management groups.

Launched my own design and communications business in January of 2001. My previous years of experience have been at Hallmark Cards, Inc., Adrews McMeel Universal and Cerner Corporation. I have been very fortunate to work for outstanding companies that have helped develop my career. I choose to start a new challenge at the end of 2000. First, Launching my own design firm and secondly, getting more involved in the fine art community in Kansas City. I have returned to some of the skills I learned while in school. Begining work in metal smithing, large scale sculpture and furniture design. Also, various multimedia paintings and drawings. It is my hope to replace my current career with one in fine art. I will keep informed of my progress.

Urban Designs is a business offering engraving, conservation framing,
and original fine art by local and regional artists.
