Bio
Melanie Bridgens
As Rich’s supervisor at ITT, I can say that he is a professional, honest, hardworking individual who does everything possible to get the job done. He is an AutoCAD master, and during his time at ITT, he learned (to re-teach) Photoshop, Illustrator, VIZ, and Inventor. He was an excellent critic, taking students on a journey taking students on a journey of discovery about architecture, design, construction and CAD. He also juggled the management of five courses, each with different class topics.
