About Artique Design Works
‘Artique’ – something artistic and unique
Well, that’s how she defined it when she came up with it.
Artique Design Works has existed, perhaps not officially, but in some form, since 1999. April’s high school mentor taught her HTML hand-coding and web design and during her college years, she supported herself occasionally by offering web design and website maintenance services via a word of mouth network. It was while interning in the IT department of her first internship that she then picked up advanced skills, including Adobe’s suite of software. From then, she began to design websites, logos and marketing pamphlet using Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Dreamweaver and MS Front Page.
While she’s is a Mechanical Engineer by degree, she has never abandoned her desire to create digital spaces and has maintained Artique Designs Works in a semi-active status since college.
You’ll also notice through this site, she is quite active in textile design work. Through the medium of fabric, she creates designs and also enjoys re-imagining existing designs with her own interpretation.
She currently lives and works remote from Phoenix, AZ and daily creates digital designs as well as textile designs.
