Bio
Max Beach
I have known Armando for more than 5 years, first as his instructor at CSULB secondly in a professional capacity as a Partner for IDA. As a student, Armando displayed a solid work ethic to accompany his considerable talent. He frequently took leadership roles on projects and his classmates looked to him for guidance frequently. Armando is creative both visually and technically. As an upper Division student, Armando has given demos in classes including clay modeling demos for Form Study classes I taught. As an intern for IDA, he was responsive to direction, worked as part of the team, and brought a lot of initiative to projects he was involved with. He not only has a command of his skillset, Armando possesses the patience and demeanor to teach others.
