Creative Portfolio
Hi my name is Darien West. Nice to meet you!
I am a creative artist: music, video, photo, acting, dancing, song writing and fitness.
I am a technician: computers, programming, processing mapping and problem solving.
I enjoy what I do and hope to meet new people who live life with an uplifting integrity, intelligence, passion, intensity and vibrancy.
Since 2007, I have been a student of the multimedia industry learning the essentials of photography, videography editing, media literacy and digital marketing. Over the past decade I have been afforded the privilege to be among the few participants trained to become a trainer of video production and multi-media skills. The NPMTC was conceived to address the lack of access to video equipment and training opportunities in North and Northeast Portland neighborhoods and helps balance the disparities found in every African American community in the United States.
In my role as multimedia trainer, I developed my ability to build positive relationships with students and peers through variety of teaching/training experiences as well as a unique insight to multi-cultural and diverse classroom environments that are ever increasing.
I formerly worked as a Computer Teacher and Technology Trainer for a non profit leadership development program called CCEO YouthBuild in Lennox, CA. Here I had the pleasure to develop and implement curriculum that provided hands on community based technology projects for the "opportunity youth" that the YouthBuild program serves.
Our projects ranged from computer hardware refurbishing, and web development & basic coding, to public speaking, presentation design and audio/video production couple with applying new knowledge to earn digital literacy badges and certifications.
