About

My name is Joel Adria, and I love combining creativity with technology. With a variety of experience in Web, IT, Photo/Video, and Tech Theatre, I love to take on new projects that allow creative thought to merge with the cutting edge.

I am currently a student at the University of Alberta in Technical Production.
