Hi- Intro post huh? Well... My name is Gabriel Mathews. I am an industrial designer in Portland, Oregon working with a company called iDL Worldwide. (www.idlww.com) We facilitate client request through design, value engineering, engineering, drafting, and manufacturing of point-of-purchase displays, temp/semi perm/perm life spans with a multitude of clients from around the world. In my off time, I experiment with code (JAVA, HTML, XML, CSS) and manage a design blog. (blog.gabrielmathews.com). I look forward to discussing random topics with strangers to get a better understanding of my profession and pick up some tips along the way. ~G
