My name is David Nethery. I am a graduate of the Art Institute of California: Orange County, with a Bachelors Degree in Graphic Design. I began my interest in graphic design after seeing the movie "Toy Story", at the time I was really interested in becoming a 3D animator. I then took some classes in design and found that my passion lead in to Graphic Design. I felt through imagery, text, and tactile response I could create what I really found in my creative medium.
I was at Long Beach City College, for a number of years fine tuning what it was that I really wanted to do, that's when I met a mentor of mine, Deon Reid. He along with the staff in the Computer Arts Department really inspired me to push forward and shape me into who I wanted to be, an artist.
I was working while I was going to AI of OC at a sign shop called FASTSIGNS, there I was able to have a creative and sometimes not so creative outlet to get my ideas out there. I worked there for 2.5 years, eventually getting to a point where I needed to move on. I moved to San Diego in 2006 and worked at a few different sign shops along the way. I lead the creative end of Miramar Sign Works and Graphics as the Creative Director. I believe I have found my calling in the design world as a Sign Designer. Its just a rewarding experience because from concept to creation you are involved at every step and you see your work out in the world on a daily basis.
