Barbara's Story
What to say? Time sure has flown by fast, hasn't it. After Santana I ended up going over to SDSU and earned a degree in Graphic Design. Spent two years drawing little duckins at a greeting card company called Suzy's Zoo when I got a chance to move over to the San Diego Zoo/Wild Animal Park. Spent the next 16 years as a staff and freelance designer, creating pretty much anything you might see visually around the parks. From food buckets and t-shirts, to signs asking parents not to hang their children over the exhibit walls. And trust me, many parents do need this sign. If any of you have every gone through the entrance of the Wild Animal Park and noticed the wall murals and banners at the entrance ... that's me you see up there.
In 93' I went back to Grossmont College to earn a certificate in photography while I played for the college volleyball team. Yes I was 32? Probably the oldest living college play...Expand for more
er around and was going to school full-time and running my own business as well. Not sure how they talked me into it, OR HOW I EVEN SURVIVED but I had the best time ever. I actually had team mates who's mother's had gone to Santana with me. What a hoot!
In 2002, I gave up the Zoo life for a lighter work load. The Zoo was fun and creative but as it goes...they were non-profit, therefore I was non-profit. Plus the long hours were taking its toll on an old designer, so I moved over to USD as Senior Creative Director of their Alumni Magazine. We have a lot of fun there. No animals but a beautiful campus and great view. The slower hours leave me a lot of time with my two nieces and fifteen small cousins. I have spent much of the last 25 years documenting the family in photography, creating a family legacy passed on by my great grandfather and his old box cameras.
Hope everyone else is well and happy!
