Trina received her Bachelors of Fine Arts degree from Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle. She spent three years at Cornish and six months at Griffith University on the Gold Coast of Australia studying Visual Arts. After a successful graduation show, Trina made an income selling t-shirts that she designed to friends and strangers out of her van at the beach while enjoying a leisurely lifestyle.
With a positive attitude and a creative portfolio, she landed a job in the action-sports industry as a graphic designer. For several months Trina helped create print and web designs ranging from user-manual illustrations to trade show graphics before the eventual downfall of the company.
Her journey continued as a designer working with a social media startup in Seattle. She had an opportunity to work with large companies such as Brooks running shoes, Jones Soda, Komo4 News, and various other brands for the purpose of promoting user-generated advertising. At the end of her year contract with the aberrant social media startup, Trina pursued a career as a freelance designer and moved out to the Olympic Peninsula. With several small jobs, part time study at Peninsula College in the Web Media department, playing percussion in the College jazz band, surfing, and painting fine art on furniture, Trina had plenty to keep her busy on the Peninsula.
Trina continued her freelance design work in conjunction with working for the local print shop before becoming an employee at InsideOut. Trina is extremely happy to have joined the team here at InsideOut and to work with such interesting, and passionate people. Currently she is working on new t-shirt designs after completing two surfboard designs that will be published in an Art book in the Spring of 2011.
